| description |
In this largely Muslim population, only
about a third of women have any schooling, most marry young
(nearly 80 percent by the age of 19) and by the age of 18,
more than half have had their first child. Nearly 1 in every
5 women joins in a polygamous marriage. As both women and
men state they want 8 and 16 children, respectively, the use
of modern contraception remains strikingly low at 1 percent
among women and fertility is high. The objectives of this
project are to: (a) enhance capability at the central level
to support regional health services (16 percent); (b) ensure
accessibility of the population to low-cost essential drugs
(21 percent); and (c) improve access to basic health
services in the regions of Guera and Tandjile (63 percent).
While the scope of (a) and (b) are nationwide and support
capacity building for health generally, (c) targets two
regions for the implementation of these efforts with an
emphasis on Safe Motherhood. This project builds on a prior
Bank project that included support for the general health
sector, the Social Development Action Project (PADS). To
further support the nationwide health efforts, and
specifically the newly-adopted National Drug Policy (NDP),
the Bank assists to ensure overall geographical as well as
financial accessibility of the population to essential
generic drugs as a prerequisite to the successful
implementation of cost-recovery. The NDP selects drugs
essential for dealing effectively with at least 90 percent
of the curative and prophylactic needs of the majority of
the population, including the major complications that kill women. |
