An outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been spreading rapidly across the world since December 2019, following the diagnosis of the initial cases in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The objective of this project is to strengthen the capacity of the government of Mali to prevent, prepare for and respond to COVID-19 pandemic in Mali. It has 4 Components: Component 1 (US 12.7 million): Emergency COVID-19 Preparedness and Response. This component will support the country’s ability to promote an integrated response to COVID-19 through improved prevention measures, case detection, treatment, laboratory capacity and surveillance.Component 2 (US$: 7 million): Increase access to quality health care services. This component will promote timely access to quality health care at facilities by providing facilities with financing based on the number of patients screened and treated for COVID-19 and also by the level of quality of the service. This component will also cover fee waivers for clients wishing to seek health care services for suspected COVID-19 and unable to pay.Component 3 (US$: 3 million): Financial Support to Households. This component aims to address significant negative externalities expected in the event of a widespread COVID-19 outbreak using different safety net mechanisms based on the extent of disruptions. It will finance emergency safety nets to reduce financial barriers to health-seeking behavior, such as social distancing, and to help mitigate economic impacts on households, particularly among poor households (especially women headed households) in the areas affected by COVID-19. Component 4 (US$: 2 million): Implementation Management, Monitoring and Evaluation and coordination. This component will finance additional needs of REDISSE III PIU to implement the proposed project. These include additional equipment and staff and other operational expenses. This component will also finance coordination activities. These include meetings of steering committees, Coordination’s meetings at different level of the health system and operation costs of Emergency Operation Center and call centers.
