Announcement of 2 new ILO/STEP publications
-------------------------------------------
I am pleased to inform you that the ILO/STEP programme has published
two new publications, which would interest the African continent.
"Mutual health organizations and micro-entrepreneurs' associations Guide"
This guide is intended for associations of micro-entrepreneurs inter-
ested in creating mutual health insurance schemes. The guide provides
basic information on the advantages as well as on the difficulties of
these schemes. This document is the result of a partnership between
the STEP programme and the ILO's inFocus Programme Small Enterprise
Development (SEED).
ILO-STEP/ILO-SEED, 2001
10 Sw.frs.; US$ 6, 2,500 FCFA
Available in English and French.
"Guide de suivi et d'�valuation des syst�mes de micro-assurance sant�"
This guide was prepared in cooperation with the International Centre
for Research and Development (ICRD). The guide has two objectives: On
the one hand, to strengthen the capacity of health micro-insurance
systems and monitor and evaluate the functioning of their organiza-
tion, on the other hand, to increase the capacity of support struc-
tures to determine the viability of these systems. The first section
of the guide covers the administrative, technical and financial moni-
toring of systems. Then it presents a method for assessing their fi-
nancial and institutional viability. Lastly, it provides elements for
analysing their relevance, efficiency and impact. The steps proposed
by the guide are based on indicators that are described in detail.
The guide is made up of two volumes, one describing the method and
its application, and the other containing the practical modalities of
calculating the different indicators.
