Measuring the Impact of the AAFC Equipment “As-A-Service” (EASE®) Program on Healthcare Provision and Equity in Africa
By Cary Krosinsky & Felicia Collins Ocumarez
- The Sustainable Finance Institute has just taken our work on impact with The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) once step further, adding the following case study to the academic literature on Africa, healthcare and positive impact, showing how improved access to critical equipment in frontier and emerging markets helps deliver more positive impact, based on the following findings:
- The potential to improve access to critical equipment fivefold is clear
- Improving equipment efficiency can be increased by 300%+
- Delivered productivity returns of $31.30 per $1 invested in healthcare are also achievable, making both impact and investment success possible
- Many thanks to Felicia Collins Ocumarez from African Asset Finance Company (AAFC) for her leadership in making this happen, and to Ofori Ohene for his amazing research and writing assistance on behalf of the Sustainable Finance Institute.
