Human capital is central to the World Bank Group’s efforts to end extreme poverty by 2030 and raise the incomes of the bottom 40 percent of people in each country.
... See More + The vision of the Human Capital Project is a world in which all children reach their full potential growing up well-nourished and ready to learn, attain real learning in the classroom, and enter the job market as healthy, skilled, and productive adults. According to the Human Capital Index (HCI), nearly 60 percent of children born today will, at best, be only half as productive as they could be if they had complete education and full health. This has profound implications not only for their future income and wellbeing, but also for national economic growth and competitiveness and overall poverty reduction. The Human Capital Project (HCP) is a global response to this. The plan for the future is driven by the political will in several countries to accelerate more and better investments in people for greater equity and economic growth. Well over 60 countries have nowjoined the HCP. This report captures some of what these countries are doing, as well as our efforts, together with other partners, to support them. Crucially, we have been able to elevate the global and national dialogue on human capital and are facilitating the sharing of experience, ideas, and good practices between countries. Many have adopted a more holistic approach to developing human capital, identifying key bottlenecks, and working on high-level strategies to overcome them.

The development objective of the Improved Child Survival Program for Human Capital Multi-Phased Approach (MPA) Project for Nigeria is to improve the utilization of immunization plus and malaria services in selected states.
... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) ensure that all units in each healthcare facility (HCF) minimizes their waste generation (all classes of wastes) to the barest possible minimum. Appropriate plans, strategies, and actions should be established to ensure adequate HC waste management (HCW) minimization at source; (2) proper segregation of waste at source generation (at each medical unit and department) is essential, efficient, and effective in managing HCW to reduce the quantity of waste requiring treatment prior to final disposal and ultimately reduces the cost of waste treatment and management; (3) it is essential to segregate sharps from other HCW at their point of generation. Sharps boxes, should be used strictly for sharps; (4) all waste bags or containers should be labelled with basic information in English and the local language of the area where the HCF is located; and (5) collection of waste is extremely important particularly to avoid over spilling of waste out of collection containers to reduce the probability of contaminated wastes coming into contact with the public.

... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) vehicles used in vaccine transportations should be serviced frequently and have low carbon emissions. If vaccine transportation is outsourced, contract agreement should include provisions for evaluation including company experience, certifications, staff strength and expertise, training records etc.; (2) for renovation works, except where activity and site screening results show that there may be negative impacts, no mitigation measures are so far required. Renovation works are expected to be of very low impact even in the absence any mitigation measure; (3) provision of appropriate bags and containers for storing healthcare waste management (HCW); (4) waste generated on-site should be evacuated at least once a week; (5) prohibition of access to the waste’s storage site by unauthorized persons. Proposed HCW storage and disposal sites should be clearly marked and cordoned off any access by the public; (6) workers should be equipped with appropriate protective personal equipment (PPE) such as latex gloves including sanitizers; and (7) temporary onsite storage areas must be clearly marked and cordoned from unauthorized access and reuse and recycling of materials should be encouraged as a way of reducing waste.
