Impact Bonds for NTDs Sample Clauses

Impact Bonds for NTDs. Impact bonds are gaining momentum and attention as an innovative financing instrument in the development financing field, and as a potentially important new funding tool specifically for global and public health interventions. As seen in the DIB pipeline, the health sector is well- represented in proposed DIBs, covering a wide range of health issues and interventions from WASH to chronic illness to infectious diseases. Still, except for the Uganda Sleeping Sickness DIB targeting reductions in Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), no specific DIB has been discussed for any of the five PC-NTDs. Instead, the application of impact bond model to PC- NTDs remains a theoretical discussion rather than a specific proposal. Still, it is worth reviewing the history and development of the Uganda Sleeping Sickness DIB, which could provide insight into the development process for subsequent NTD DIBs. Supported by DFID, the Sleeping Sickness DIB went through a pilot phase in 2014 to test the feasibility of the planned intervention, a veterinary public-health intervention of insecticide and cattle treatment for the HAT parasite (DFID, 2016c; Oroxom et al., 2018). However, since the pilot, securing stable outcome funding beyond DFID has been a key challenge to the DIB’s financial sustainability and the project has stalled from further progress and implementation. Still, some NTD stakeholders have drawn from the sleeping sickness DIB and identified rabies, another NTD, as a possible target for DIB funding since the constraints to rabies-focused MDA programming are due more to resource mobilization and effective operational delivery rather than a technical knowledge gap (Welburn, Bardosh, & Xxxxxxx, 2016). A similar argument could easily be extended to using DIBs for the five PC-NTDs like onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis. When considering the health impact, these NTDs may be even better targets than rabies control and sleeping sickness because of their disproportionately high disease burden. However, despite the seeming popularity of impact bonds, certain pockets of the public health community have deep skepticism that the impact bond model is an appropriate mechanism for public health issues, and by extension NTDs. In February 2018, Xxxx et al. expressed many areas of concern related to SIBs and the trend of market-based reforms for public health funding or service delivery. In addition to the limited health-focused evidence on SIBs, they also spoke of potential incre...
