NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME

Corporate Headquarters, Abuja

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INVENTORY OF EXISTING COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMES AND OTHER SOCIAL SOLIDARITY GROUPINGS & ASSOCIATIONS IN THE COUNTRY

The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria established to promote and regulate the health insurance industry in the country.

With the overall aim of ensuring easy access to quality healthcare services for all Nigerians, the agency is driven by a Presidential mandate to ensure universal health insurance coverage and access to healthcare services for all Nigerians by 2015.

In pursuit of this mandate, significant progress has been made to cover public sector employees and the biggest challenge remains reaching out to the informal sector and the rural communities.

With a Blueprint/Framework for implementing Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) in the country in place, the NHIS is desirous of extending the benefits of social health insurance to the informal sector (comprising over 70% of the total population). Towards achieving this objective, the NHIS in collaboration with PATHS 2 (DflD funded) Programme is in the process of piloting and subsequently upscalling CBHI schemes for and categories of the population employed in the rural and informal sector. The subsequent scale up of CBHI schemes will be promoted through an incremental process, to cover the entire country.

Preparatory to the initial pilot phase, the NHIS will be developing an Inventory of existing CBHI schemes and other social solidarity groups and associations in the 36 states and the FCT (i.e. national in scope).

Proposals are hereby invited from competent consultancy firms to:

(i)                Study, document analyze and report on all identified community based health prepayment/micro-health insurance schemes in the country.

(ii)             Carry out a comprehensive inventory of major social and economic groups that exist in the country, whose primary objective is to cater in various forms for the economic and social welfare of their members. Such social and economic groups would include farmers’ societies, groups professional groups such as artisans, women societies, taxi drivers’ associations, etc. The inventory will document the names of such organizations, the aims and objectives, the size/geographical spread of the membership, current obligations/benefits (including health related) of members, etc.
