  3. enhance the effectiveness, quality and ownership of the project. In addition, the following new activities will be introduced under each component:

The project has four components:

  1. Improving health service delivery performance: The additional funding will support: (a) scaling up of the PBF component of the project to health facilities in the
    refugee camps of Holl Holl, Ali-Addeh and Obock, and the pediatric ward of the Peltier Hospital in Djibouti-Ville; and (b) support the Directorate of Health Regions (Direction des Régions Sanitaires) in providing mobile “Caravan” clinics for the provision of specialized health services for refugees and host populations.
  2. Strengthening health system management: The additional funding will support: (a) the MOH to reinforce the routine Health Management Information System
    through selection of core indicators, harmonization of data collection tools, and introduction of District Health Information Software (DHIS2) as a data management tool (storage, analysis and feedback report production and dissemination); (b) conduct surveys on the quality of health services; and (c) support implementation of selected health care waste management measures specifically the installation of small artisanal incinerators at five health facilities in Dikhil, Tadjourah, Obock, and Arta regions.

  4. Contingent Emergency Response Component – CERC: A CERC will be included under the project in accordance with paragraphs 12 and 13 of the Bank Policy for Investment Project Financing for projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance or Capacity Constraints.
