Program for the Strengthening of Human Capital in Djibouti

pipeline

The proposed Program for the Strengthening of Human Capital in Djibouti (PROCH) is a US$30 million IDA grant using a Program‑for‑Results financing instrument with a limited IPF component, designed to support the first phase of Djibouti’s National Human Capital Program (PNCH 2026–2035). The operation aims to improve equitable access to quality early childhood development services and selected maternal, child, and adolescent services through strengthened and integrated service delivery systems and intersectoral coordination. It focuses primarily on early childhood development while incorporating targeted adolescent outcomes, recognizing the life‑cycle linkages between adolescent wellbeing, maternal health, and early childhood outcomes. The program is structured around four results areas covering early learning, maternal and child health and social protection, adolescent wellbeing, and cross‑sectoral coordination, and will function as a platform to align government and partner financing around results, with disbursements linked to verified achievements and targeted technical assistance supporting implementation and institutionalization.
