HEALTH & NUTRITION

closed

The Health and Nutrition Project aims to improve health and nutrition status in Mozambique; this will be accomplished by a variety of components. In order to strengthen policy formulation and management capacity, the project will : (i) facilitate development of improved health policies in the areas of cost recovery, manpower development and facility management; (ii) strengthen the Ministry of Health (MOH) through reorganisation of the central ministry, and development of an improved financial management information system; and (iii) contribute to improving food security policies by aiding in policy analyses on food pricing and distribution. The project will assist in improving services by : (i) renovating and equipping selected health facilities; (ii) establishing better hospital management procedures; (iii) constructing and renovating drug storage facilities; and (iv) improving health manpower training. Finally, the project will increase the efficiency of the urban food distribution system through management streamlining and strengthening of supplemental feeding programs.
