About us

HANSHEP is a group of development agencies and countries, established by its members in 2010, seeking to improve the performance of the non-state sector in delivering better healthcare to the poor by working together, learning from each other, and sharing this learning with others.

The current HANSHEP members are:

• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
• UKaid from the Department for International Development (DFID)
• United States Agency for International Development (USAID
• World Bank

Each member appoints a representative to the HANSHEP Group, who then attends quarterly member meetings by video/teleconference. These meetings are convened by the Chair of the HANSHEP Group, who is elected by its members and rotates on an annual basis.

Following a competitive tender, the members have appointed a Secretariat to manage the day-to-day activities and to coordinate the funding of HANSHEP programmes.
