Job Title: Shops Project Technical Assistance to Community Based Health Insurance Schemes

Scope of Work for CBHI Consultant
Background
Strengthening Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) Project is a global five-year USAID-funded project, which aims to expand the role of the private sector, including NGOs and for-profit entities in the sustainable provision and use of high-quality health information, products and services.
The SHOPS Project Kenya is centered on three main technical component areas aimed to:
(1) Strengthen the enabling environment for increased health care access in the private sector;
(2) Identify, expand and improve financing options for increased private sector health care coverage; and

Approximately 80% of Kenyans lack health insurance or other health financing and risk protection mechanisms to allow them to access care, and prevent them from catastrophic healthcare spending. This puts low-income populations at financial risk delving deeper into poverty.
