The purpose of the AF is to: (1) close the funding gap necessary to introduce methodological adjustments; and (2) to scale up the PBF component to expand the project to all geographical areas of the country. The AF will be used to update and improve implementation by: a) revising the incentives currently used to encourage health facilities to improve performance; b) introducing the quality adjustment component; c) integrating incentives for management at the PIU; d) piloting facility autonomy in managing drug revolving funds to improve the drug supply; and e) improving coaching and accompaniment for health facilities. The AF will additionally formalize links with the World Bank-financed Social Safety Net Project (Cr. H7790) by facilitating subcontracting between health facilities and community peer educators. For the national scale-up, in addition to Djibouti-ville, Ali-Sabieh and Tadjourah, the AF proposes to expand the PBF to include health facilities in Arta, Dikhil and Obock. The closing date of the original project is December 31, 2018; the AF will have the same closing date.  See Less -
