Notes
1. Portions of this article are adapted from the Olivier and Wodon Citation2012 working paper collection.
2. This work benefitted from the support of the Country Management Unit for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone as well as the Human Development Network at the World Bank. The authors are grateful to Ishac, Diwan, and Rakesh Nangia for supporting this research.
3. In Ghana, faith-inspired providers are also commonly called “mission-based providers”—and faith-inspired facilities are frequently classified as “mission hospitals”—leading to some terminological challenges.
