Description:
In Malawi, the Ministry of Health contracts selected health facilities owned by the main faith-based provider, the Christian Health Association of Malawi to deliver care at no fee to the most vulnerable and under-served populations in the country through Service Level Agreements (SLAs). This study examined the features of SLAs and their effectiveness in expanding universal coverage, including a policy analysis focusing on key stakeholders around SLAs as well as a case study to analyse how design and implementation of SLAs affect efficiency, equity and sustainability of services delivered by SLAs.
