Reach to the Poor and Vulnerable

Chapter Chapter 5 in The Economics of Faith-Based Service Delivery, 2015, pp 115-147 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While it is common to state that FIIs provide a large share of health and education services in sub-Saharan Africa, it is also often suggested that they provide services in priority for the poor and vulnerable, especially in rural areas. In the case of healthcare, for example, this argument was made two decades ago by De Jong (1991), and it continues to be made by a wide range of observers as well as FIIs such as the Christian Health Associations,1 with the same taking place for education. Again, the empirical evidence to back such statements is rather thin, mostly anecdotal, and often outdated.
