Health Insurance Subsidy Process Evaluation – Kenya
The African Health Markets for Equity (AHME) is a five-year project that aims to improve health outcomes through the provision of quality private sector health care targeting the poor in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana. In Kenya, the AHME project is supporting the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to design, test, and scale-up the Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HISP) that will serve as a mechanism for the Government of Kenya to subsidize NHIF insurance cover for the poorest households in Kenya.
To supplement a quantitative impact evaluation of the programme, the NHIF plans to carry out a process evaluation. The aim of the process evaluation is to assess programme implementation and provide information that will help implementers determine the degree to which the HISP intervention was implemented as planned (implementation fidelity).

The Kenyan government has planned a large-scale water investment program to address these challenges and has requested the World Bank support these ambitious plans for the water sector through the Kenya Water Security and Climate Resilience Program (KWSCRP). The first phase, KWSCRP-1 was approved by IDA in June 2013, and now phase 2 (KWSCRP-2) is proposed. KWSCRP-2 is at this moment a pipeline project and its board date is unknown. Continue reading
