Health Microinsurance Schemes: Monitoring and Evaluation Guide. Volume 1 and 2.
ILO/STEP, ISBN: 978-92-2-119669-3, 2007 (228 pages)
The guide has two objectives: to strengthen the capacity of managers to monitor and evaluate their health microinsurance schemes (HMIS); and to strengthen the capacity of technical and financial support agencies and private insurers to assess the viability and performance of the HMIS. The guide consists of two volumes. Part I of Volume 1 presents the main definitions and basic concepts. Part II deals with the subject of administrative and technical monitoring – based on the major functions of insurance management – as well as with budget and cash flow monitoring. Part III deals with evaluating the viability of health insurance viewed as a financial instrument, through the use of a series of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Part IV deals with evaluating the institutional viability of the HMIS. Finally, Part V offers some indications for assessing the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of an HMIS, merely providing some pointers to users interested in this kind of assessment. Volume 2 contains practical indications for completing tables and calculating indicators described in Volume 1.
