Welcome to The Global Financing Facility's Managing Markets for Health (MM4H): A Core Course for Health Policy Practitioners

This course introduces you to the analytics and policy instruments that governments can use to structure market systems in support of health goals, including those related to Reproductive Maternal Neonatal Child Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH-N) priorities. The online course will provide you with:

  • the ‘hardware’ of market systems action (i.e. the concepts and tools that policymakers use to think and act strategically in engaging with private actors), and
  • the ‘software’ of market systems action (i.e. the activities to be performed in building an inclusive policy process for implementation and measurement).

The Course Toolkit is material from the face-to-face course delivered in Dakar April 9-13, 2018. The objective of this course was for policy-makers to apply the knowledge they had acquired in the MM4H online course, which was a prerequisite for the F2F course, and use it to define private sector engagement best suited to their country context.
