The second component, institutional development, aims to: (a) strengthen the Ministry of Health management and technical capacity to plan and deliver health services efficiently and improve cost-recovery systems; (b) increase the Ministry of Education's capacity in planning and management of services delivery; and (c) strengthen the Ministry of Planning's capacity to develop a social sectors information system, analyze social investment programs, and evaluate their impact.
