| description |
In the wake of the 2014 Ebola Virus
Disease (Ebola) crisis, the international development
community, including the World Bank Group (WBG), have taken
various institutional and operational steps to improve the
advice, investments, and financing instruments to support
both the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency responses
to infectious disease outbreaks. Several World Bank
instruments have been developed or adapted to more promptly
deliver financial resources. The objective of the study is
to inform the design and implementation of financing for
rapid response to outbreaks through an analysis of lessons
learned from recent outbreaks in West and Central Africa.
This report will explain the methodology used to collect and
analyze study data. It will then review the background,
findings, and observations on mobilizing domestic and
external funds for response in light of the evolution of
epidemics in West Africa, Nigeria, and Democratic Republic
of the Congo. The report summarizes the recent changes and
key remaining challenges globally and in select countries
summarized by the four selected themes (governance,
effective financing, efficient use of resources, and
preparedness). This report then offers conclusions and
recommendations from this qualitative study. |
