Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The Essential health Services Access Project of Myanmar has an objective to increase coverage of essential health services of adequate quality, with a focus on maternal, newborn and child health. The project would thus contribute to Myanmar's move towards UHC. It would also support a prompt and effective response to crises and emergencies. The project consists of three components. The first component strengthening Service Delivery at the Primary Health Care Level, focuses on channeling funds through MOH to the states/regions and townships (the latter in the form of health facility grants) for operational expenses or non-salary recurrent expenditures. 

According to the World Bank webpage, this project will support COVID 19 relief efforts in Myanmar.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
