HEALTH, FERTILITY AND NUTRITION PROJECT

closed

The Health and Population Sector Operation Project will support the implementation of the Government's population and health policies and seeks to: (a) consolidate these policies both legislatively and organizationally; (b) establish the requisite management and technical conditions for rapid expansion of health service delivery; and (c) finance reform measures and field operations in rural and urban areas not currently covered by other donors. Over the period 1995 - 2001, the project will: (a) provide institutional support for continued development of the national population policy and rapid implementation of a national family planning program and information, education and communications strategy; (b) promote complementary organizational and administrative reforms needed to strengthen the management of health sector resources and advance the decentralization of health services: and (c) expand the coverage and improve the quality of primary health care services to underserved low-income population.
