active

The development objective of Pandemic Preparedness and Basic Health Services Delivery Project for Madagascar is to strengthen cross-sectoral capacity for pandemic preparedness and response and improve the provision of basic health services and quality of care. This project has four components. The first component, Strengthening Capacities for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, has the following sub-components: Develop Necessary Assessments to Implement One Health Approach; Improve Cross-sectoral Coordination, Collaboration, and Capacity for Preparedness and Response; Strengthen Human and Animal Disease Surveillance Systems; and Strengthen the Quality of Laboratories. The second component, Strengthening the Resilience and Performance of Basic Health Services, has the following sub-components: Ensure the Availability of Essential Health Services; Strengthen Primary Health Care Financing by Increasing the Autonomy and Accountability of CSBs and Financial Protection for the Poorest; and Strengthen Human Resources Management. The third component, Project Management and Monitoring, will be financed under this component, which finances operational costs and capacity building to ensure effective coordination, management, and implementation of the first two components of the project. The fourth component, Contingent Emergency Response, will facilitate access to rapid financing by allowing for the reallocation of uncommitted project funds in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency, either by a formal declaration of a national emergency or upon a formal request from the government.
