Social sectors financing
Overview
Our Social Sectors Financing team is dedicated to advancing human development through diagnostics underpinned by rigorous economic analysis.
We support solution design, backed by understanding the contexts within which we live and work. In addition, we support implementation, where we provide catalytic expertise to existing systems. We strive to create a world where everyone, particularly those marginalised, can achieve their full potential.
Areas of Expertise
Nutrition financing
The case to invest in nutrition is strong, not only as a moral imperative—saving lives and preventing disabilities - but also for building human capital and driving economic growth. Good nutrition, particularly in women and children, lays the foundation for a productive, thriving society.
Social protection financing
We are dedicated to optimising social protection and child protection systems to promote human development within the Young World. Social protection encompasses a set of policies and programmes designed to shield individuals from poverty and mitigate risks to their livelihoods and well-being.
Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) financing
We understand the paramount importance of investing in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) to enhance public health, improve educational outcomes and stimulate economic growth. Access to clean water, adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities is essential for preventing diseases, promoting health and ensuring a productive society.
Humanitarian financing
We are dedicated to optimising humanitarian finance to build resilience, respond to emergencies and support recovery. Our work focuses on disaster risk finance, disaster risk reduction, anticipatory action, financing emergency responses, and strengthening systems in humanitarian settings.
Projects
Analysis opens tap to gender equality in African sanitation delivery
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contracted JG Afrika and Genesis Analytics to conduct a needs assessment and landscape analysis to pinpoint how the foundation could best support its African-based urban sanitation partners with technical assistance that resulted in targeted and sustainable gender mainstreaming.
Counting the health costs of VAT on soap in Madagascar
Genesis Analytics partnered with UNICEF and the Government in Madagascar to evaluate whether an exemption in the value-added tax on soap would increase access to soap and achieve better WASH-related outcomes, and drive tax policy decision-making based on the recommendations derived from the evaluation.
