Sustainability & transitions

APMG Health has been at the forefront of the global conversation on the contracting of non-state actors for the provision of HIV and TB services with government funds (“social contracting,” “public financing,” or “community financing”) over the last several years. APMG has been involved in the development and use of a number of tools, frameworks and resources related to social contracting.  

We also have over a decade of experience in assessing CSO absorptive capacity for funding, and have at our disposal training materials for self-assessment and strengthening of financial and management systems, which can be readily adapted for this contract. Our team has become intimately familiar with global documentations and experiences of social contracting, including those developed by the United Nations Development Programme, to capture global experiences.
