The Role of the Private Sector in Expanding Health Access to the Base of the Pyramid

IFC’s purpose is to create opportunities for people to escape poverty and improve their lives by developing more outlets for inclusive and sustainable growth. To ensure equitable access to healthcare, we are committed to supporting companies that are providing health services to the poor in commercially viable ways. To this end, IFC conducted a study on how to help the private sector expand access to health services to the base of the pyramid. The study examined Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria and Turkey—countries with significant health markets yet large underserved populations. Three health segments were analyzed: healthcare service provision, distribution of drugs and medical equipment, and medical technology.

Cleaner Production in Pakistan

IFC’s Resource Efficiency Program has funded the production of Sustaining Growth: Cleaner Production in Pakistan report. Since 2006, Pakistan’s National Productivity Organization (NPO) and the Lahore-based Cleaner Production Institute (CPI) have conducted more than 200 resource efficiency audits to identify patterns of energy consumption and opportunities for energy, material and water savings in the leather, textile, sugar and pulp and paper sectors. For each of the sectors, the audits found that opportunities to cut costs and improve efficiency abound. IFC commissioned Ernst and Young (EY) to analyze the audit information and recommend resource-efficient practices and technologies. The report identifies several criteria necessary for the implementation of cleaner production measures, looking at both the potential for resource savings and the estimated payback period. This report is the first of its kind in both scope and scale. NPO & CPI aim to offer industrial stakeholders essential data and raise awareness of the potential for cleaner and more sustainable production methods. An IFC-funded study
