Health Transformation Project Overview
The Project Terms: • US $30.8 mln IDA credit • Oct 2014 - March 2019 • Approved by WB Executive Board on May 22, 2014
Project Objective and Approach • Objective:to reduce key risks for non-communicable diseases and improve efficiency of health services in Moldova. • Approach: • US $28.8mln is Program-for-Results (PforR) • US $2mln is Technical Assistance
What is PforR? • A new lending instrument of the World Bank • WB and Govt to agree on a selective set of indicators, with clear targets and verification methods • Each target links to a certain disbursement amount to the State Budget • Country uses its own budget and systems (financial management, procurement, etc.) to achieve the targets • Once targets have been achieved; money is disbursed from WB to Govt. If DLIs are partially met, then there will be partial disbursements
MTBF subprograms which are selected (PforR boundaries) • MOH administrative budget • CNAM administrative budget • Primary health care (performance-based incentive for family medicine and re-imbursement of anti-hypertensive drugs only) • Hospital care (performance-based incentive for family medicine only) • National Tobacco Control Programme
Example of a disbursement linked indicator • Challenge: In Moldova, around 10% of people with hypertension have their blood pressure under control • Indicator: increase this percentage from 10% to 15% • Verification method: two rounds with household survey with blood pressure measurement. If target is met disbursement
Advantages of PforR • Focusing more on actual results thru financing of results, not inputs • Facilitating strengthening and use of country systems and procedures • Giving more flexibility to the country
PforR Preparation Requirements • Conduct 3 assessments as part of preparation • Technical Assessment • Fiduciary (financial management and procurement) • Environmental-social assessment (ESSA) • Each assessment (i) identifies strengths, weaknesses of govt systems and (ii) proposes mitigation measures • Public consultation and disclosure of ESSA
