COHESIVE-India plans to undertake an evaluation of the BMGF-financed WHP project. The overarching focus of the evaluation project (called Bihar Evaluation of Social Franchising and Telemedicine (BEST)) is to provide evidence on the performance and effectiveness of the WHP program. In addition to studying the overall impact and effectiveness of the social franchising and telemedicine program, the evaluation will estimate how the WHP model influences outcomes related to two target diseases of interest to BMGF: childhood diarrhea and childhood pneumonia.
