Unemployment, informal employment and low pension coverage have been recurrent problems in Colombia. According to a study carried out in 2023 by Colombia’s National Statistics Institute (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística – DANE, 2023), some 57.9 per cent of the country’s population is in informal employment, and a little over half of these people earn less than the minimum wage.

Optimizing health care benefits by health insurance schemes

Implementation year:

Award Year:

National Health Insurance Fund , Tanzania, United Republic of , Africa

At the time of its inception, the scheme had accredited all government facilities. Later on, in 2004, the NHIF started to accredit faith based, NGO and private health facilities to bridge the gap on the supply side at the public health facilities that were initially accredited. Due to members' complaints about the inadequacy of medical services obtained from accredited medical facilities, the NHIF considered what improvements could be made to its medical services package.
