Policy brief

Choose a health problem and prepare a policy brief that you would submit to a finance minister of a low or middle income country of your choice to convince him/her to invest money in the issue. Remember you are trying to convince a finance minister – make a case.

You should address the following issues:
What is the nature and magnitude of the problem?
Who is most affected by the problem?
What are the risk factors for this problem?
Why should the Minister of Finance and the President care about this problem? (i.e. what is the impact)
What can be done, at least cost, to address this problem and enhance the health of our people?
