It consists of following sub-components: (i) conditional cash transfers to stimulate demand for health care; and (ii) strengthening of community health. The third component, capacity building and project management will finance project management and comprehensive capacity-building activities, including substantial technical assistance. The fourth component, contingency emergency response (CERC) will be included under the project in accordance with operational policy (OP) 10.00 paragraphs 12 and 13, for projects in situations of urgent need of assistance or capacity constraints.
