The objectives of the project are to improve the quality and accessibility of basic health and family planning services following a strategy of decentralization of service delivery. The Government needs assistance in articulating a national population policy and defining a corresponding program of actions. There is an urgent need to enhance women's abilities to participate in and contribute to the country's social and economic development. A heavy emphasis should be placed on policy reforms related to the proposed investments which are secured by specific project conditions. To achieve these objectives the project would finance investments to: (a) develop the regional health service system through (i) development of training programs for regional personnel; (ii) development of a maintenance system for vehicles, equipment and infrastructure; (iii) strengthening of financial management at the regional level; and (iv) assistance for health services in the regions of Brakna, Hodh el Gharbi, and Nouakchott; (b) strengthen capacity at the central level to support regional health services through (i) strengthening of technical capacity in three programs of special emphasis - family planning, health education, and nutrition; and (ii) improvement of management systems for personnel, finance and health information; (c) define a national population policy and its action plan and assist in its implementation; and (d) promote the status of women.
