The objective of the model is to address the lack of integration between healthcare and social careservices, which can particularly affect older people.
... See More + Using information gained from Model 1 and 2, as well as analyses of health and social service delivery for the elderly, the proposed Model 3 combines the most important elements of both sectors under one umbrella: the Home Care Center (HCC). The model replies to the needs indicated by the client during discussions and technical analyses but also is reflecting the RAS agreement between The National Health Fund and The World bank. Objectives of introducing integrated care at the community level: 1) improvements in access to healthcare, nursing, rehabilitation and long-term care services for older people following hospitalization- filling the gap in the inclusive way 2) decrease in the risk of re-hospitalization of older patients due to improved medical, nursing, rehabilitation and care activities – improving the quality 3) decrease in costs of medical treatment, efficiency improvements, and- improving efficiency

The Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene Poverty Diagnostic Initiative undertook multidisciplinary research in 18 countries, developing innovative methods to better understand the impacts of inadequate services on human development outcomes, and identify the binding constraints to service delivery.
... See More + This initiative considers the new standards of the SDGs, which raise the bar (above that set by the MDGs) by not just aiming for universal access to basic WASH services, but also attempting to close the gaps in service quality, with an eye toward long-term sustainability. This report offers new insights on how data can be used to inform allocation decisions to reduce inequalities and prioritize investment in water and sanitation interventions to boost human capital. It also offers a fresh perspective on service delivery that considers how institutional arrangements affect the incentives of a range of actors. The Initiative points to the importance of thinking (and working) differently, not only about inequality in WASH services, but also about how investment in WASH can have added impact on human development outcomes. It draws from all possible data sources, contributing new ones (notably in relation to water quality) to triangulate the analysis and objectively ascertain the facts and proposed recommendations.

The development objective of Baghdad Water Supply and Sewerage Improvement Project for Iraq is to improve the quality of drinking water supply and wastewater services in Baghdad.
... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (i) compensation will be provided to all individuals whose assets or access to assets is affected or damaged, as a consequence of land acquisition (although not planned in this project) or any other activities undertaken by the projects. (ii) the compensation for the loss of physical and nonphysical assets will vary depending on the type of loss, and eligibility of the PAPs; (iii) compensation may come in the form of cash compensation, in-kind compensation, and/or other kinds of assistance, like assistance for relocating and providing job opportunities; (iv) all PAPs will be entitled to monetary compensation at replacement cost, according to market value (at the entitlement cut-off date) for affected tangible assets; (v) setting pumping stations in as far away as possible from populated areas, in order to reduce noise and contamination; (vi) completing rehabilitation works as planned (by BSA), and selecting competent international companies to finish the job properly; (vii) cash compensation for these assets as per established public valuation records; (viii) equals the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes.

In 2006, the government of Minas Gerais decided toimplement a bold investment program to make water and sanitation universally accessible in the rural and poorest region of the state.
... See More + These areas had been leftaside by the state water supply and sanitation (WSS) company, COPASA (Companhia de Saneamento),which had predominantly focused on urban access to WSS services. To do so, the government conducted astudy entitled Project Vida no Vale (VNV, or Life in theValley) that surveyed 1,852 rural localities. Based onthe Project VNV recommendations, the government of Minas Gerais created COPANOR (Copasa Serviços deSaneamento Integrado do Norte e Nordeste de Minas Gerais), a public company, a subsidiary of COPASA,which would be specifically in charge of WSS operationsin rural communities. However, despite the achievements of COPANOR, it has not yet reached financial sustainability, which puts the aggregation model at risk. The state government was prompted to create COPANOR for two main reasons. First, the state company COPASA resisted serving small localities, as doing so could affect its overall sustainability and potentially affect its capacity to deliver good-quality services to its existing customers. Second, several previous experiences of service delivery in ruralareas had failed. However, the 2006 diagnosis found that many of the WSS systemsfunded by PPNSR had been poorly maintained and were dysfunctional. Hence, it became clear to the state government that the PPNSR model should notbe repeated and that an alternative model to deliver WSS service in rural areas should be implemented. The purposes of the COPANOR aggregation encompass professionalization and performance enhancement aswell as economic efficiency.COPANOR also enabled the use of economies ofscale when purchasing treatment products. However,despite those achievements, some progress still needs to be made as water macro metering is not availableand there are no indicators for losses or unaccounted-for water.

The World Bank funded the present study, Tunisia water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) poverty diagnostics, to assist the Government of Tunisia with exploring the linkages between poverty and WASH services.
... See More + The study in Tunisia was carried out as part of global WASH poverty diagnostics, which took place simultaneously in 18 countries, with varying areas of emphasis and depth. The water sector is also a priority for World Bank support in Tunisia. The present phase 3 report presents a synthesis of the findings from both phase 1 and phase 2, summarizing key analytical conclusions and drawing together recommendations focused on policy reforms, including to improve the present allocation of financing and leverage additional financing. In addition, inadequate access to WASH services is a marker of poverty. In most countries there is strong correlation between the two, and analysts of multi-dimensional poverty use WASH services as one indicator in their composite index. The present report is structured as follows: section one gives introduction. Section two provides a brief overview of the water resources and WASH context in Tunisia; section three explores the linkages between WASH services and poverty; section four summarizes the main findings from the analysis of financial flows; and section five provides recommendations to improve WASH services and financing.
