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.

According to the Bank’s website, the development objective of the Primary Healthcare Provision Strengthening (HOPE-PHC) Program for Nigeria is to improve utilization of quality essential health care services and health system resilience in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The program-for-results (PforR) Program is grounded in the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII), an ambitious and transformative initiative launched in December 2023 with a view to improving Nigeria’s health outcomes and economic potential by drastically reducing maternal and under-five mortality rates.

The basic health care provision program (BHCPP’s) essential benefit package prioritizes cost-effective services, focusing on reproductive health, maternal care and nutrition, childhood illnesses, and non-communicable disease (NCD) screening. The HOPE-PHC Program is built around three key results areas: (1) improving quality of services; (2) improving utilization of essential services; and (3) improving the resilience of the health system.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The environmental and social risks of the IPF component are rated Low since the anticipated risks and impacts are minimal due to the scope of the component.
