CAMRIS Team Delivers Capacity Building at the International Disaster Management Reviewer Training (IDMRT) in Lexington, KY

CAMRIS provides highly customized capacity building technical assistance to organizations from the Civil Society, public and private sectors. Our ability to combine technical and management work in global health, public health & clinical research, democracy & governance areas with tailored local needs and capacities is very significant. We work with our clients so that their programs are effective and sustainable.
For example, our work on civil society strengthening spans decades, and includes direct services to dozens of organizations. These have included major international civil society organizations such as CARE International, as well as local community groups such as the Fundacion Pablo Jaramillo and ASME-X in Ecuador and the Fundacion del Ojo in Colombia. Fundacion Pablo Jaramillo in Cuenca in the south of Ecuador was able to improve its cost recovery while also increasing targeted services and this platform was leveraged into a service delivery contract with the national health care system under a World Bank funded project. As a result, a large population was transformed from a local, heavily subsidized NGO to a major regional provider with targeted, high-quality basic services, increased capacity, and enhanced sustainability.
| For the APOLO project in Ecuador, a USAID-funded project to develop a group of community-based health service NGOs, CAMRIS created successful health provider systems through local NGO channels and clinics, to improve women and children’s accesibility to quality and affordable health care. Support to this project included strategic planning implementation of technical assistance in management and finance; design and implementation of a cost-plus pricing system to strengthen the financial stability of major non-governmental service providers; design of local service delivery networks and a local franchising network, design and implementation of a membership plan to expand coverage and organize demand for basic services; support for the design and development of information systems and a monitoring and evaluation system. |
