It further seeks to identify and discuss theoretical and policy implications. The IMHELP project seeks to advance our understanding of how gender practices shape the legitimation process of these firms and their effect on the provision of quality maternal care in rural Ghana. Despite their crucial roles, management research that explores the organisational forms and governance mechanisms of firms of informal health providers remains less developed. Thus, operators of informal healthcare firms emerge, thrive and persist in such settings to provide product and service offerings that seek to address gaps in the formal health systems. In many countries on the continent, governments have been unable to develop functioning health systems to address maternal healthcare challenges. Despite a remarkable decline in global maternal mortality in the last decade, the continent accounts for more than half of the world's maternal death rate.

Themes in Tessenow’s work which particularly resonate with a contemporary audience include material and energy sustainability, gendered space, and human-scaled urbanism and postwar reconstruction, all expressed in his aesthetic of reticence and modesty - an antidote to much of the ‘iconic’, showy architecture of today. It is written and illustrated in a way that engages with people outside Germanophone architectural culture in order to show his historical and topical significance. It identifies themes in his work comprising executed buildings, drawings and writings, and exemplifies them within his oeuvre, contextualising them within twentieth-century architectural history, and finally explaining why this architect is relevant to our needs today. It culminates in the publication of the first English-language monograph on Heinrich Tessenow, with associated ‘impact’ and professional and public engagement activities. Heinrich Tessenow: words, buildings and drawingsĪbstract: This project concerns the work of a little-known German architect of the first half of the 20th century.
