Program Experience

  • Mozambique Efficiencies for Clinical HIV Outcomes (ECHO)

    Jun 2019 - Present
    Under the USAID-funded Efficiencies for Clinical HIV Outcomes (ECHO) project and as a sub-partner to Abt Associates, ThinkWell provides the Mozambican government with data, measured findings, and recommendations to make service delivery decisions that help achieve HIV epidemic control. Specifically, we analyze data at the provincial, district, and facility levels to conduct rapid cycle evaluations to support HIV service delivery decisions. In addition, we solve persistent health system bottlenecks and study potential best practices for scale-up. Finally, we ensure that Mozambique uses the latest evidence for rapid scale-up of effective HIV interventions.

  • Indonesia Health Financing Activity

    Mar 2019 - Present
    In 2014, the Government of Indonesia’s launched Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN), the single payer national health insurance system. Since the launch, Indonesia faces a range of choices on how to continue to increase coverage, efficiency, quality, and sustainable financing. ThinkWell leads USAID’s Health Financing Activity (HFA), a five-year $15 million contract awarded in 2019. HFA is a technical assistance project designed to strengthen local capacity in financial analyses, stakeholder engagement, learning, and decision-making. HFA supports the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) leadership and vision to improve financial protection, equitable access to quality health services, and health outcomes.
