Key Message 1:
The private sector is pervasive and has been filling
the gap in EAP for some time
“Stewardship Lite”
Cambodia
Indonesia
Philippines, Vietnam, Fiji, etc.
Key Message 4:
There is a very broad menu of mechanisms from
which Government can choose.
Look at the long list of options available – and choose the ones that
are likely to have the outcomes Government wants for poor children.
3. What is our country’s capacity to support these
initiatives and mechanisms?
To engage and manage the private sector for the "public good"?
What is our capacity for stewardship?
Are we ready now? If not, what can we do to be ready to manage
technical, financial and economic risks?
Ex: Review & revise legislation, regulations and funding (Mongolia,
Vietnam, Indonesia)
Ex: This Workshop: bringing together stakeholders, including
Ministries of Finance and NSPs, not just MOH, to consider
