First Fiscal Management, Sustainable Growth and Health Service Delivery Development Policy Operation

closed

The development objective of the First Multi-Sectoral Structural Reform Development Policy Financing Project for Burkina Faso is to support the government's efforts to : (i) strengthen fiscal management; (ii) improve natural resources management and raise mining and livestock productivity; and (iii) improve health service delivery. This development policy financing (DPF) series supports the three strategic pillars of the 2016‐2020 National economic and social development plan (PNDES) as follows: Pillar 1: economic governance; Pillar 2: human capital development; and Pillar 3: structural transformation of the economy and private sector development. The objective is that improvements to fiscal management create fiscal space, raise resources allocated to pro‐poor spending, enhance value for money, and lead to better delivery of services and infrastructure. A special emphasis will be on human capital, by improving the supply of essential service delivery inputs, and putting in place sustainable financing mechanisms for healthcare in a resource‐constrained context. Lastly, the development of artisanal mines and increased livestock productivity will foster economic growth and job creation while promoting inclusion in rural areas.
