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 PDO is to contribute to strengthening the capacity, coordination, and meaningful engagement of CSOs’ and YLOs’ to drive sustainable and equitable domestic financing for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH+N), through inclusive participation, evidence-based advocacy, and accountability mechanisms.

This project targets 22 GFF partner countries. This project responds to the dynamic policy environment where governments and development partners--including the World Bank and GFF--are investing in health system strengthening and adolescent health initiatives. Through support from the World Bank and the GFF, these contexts have significant potential for structured opportunities for civil society and youth actors to meaningfully engage in national adolescent health and nutrition agendas, expand proven community-based innovations, and work with governments to institutionalize and scale these solutions across health financing, delivery, and national planning systems.

Beneficiary countries: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Democratic Republic of, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Haiti, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

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.

Environmental risks are expected to be minimal given the project's focus on advocacy and capacity building. The project will not support any construction activities or purchase of medical products.

There are no direct social risks posed due to the project since the activities are limited to capacity building of NGOs/CSOs/YLOs. These capacity building activities will be carried out through workshops and trainings. The consortium will not engage directly with the local communities such as interviews, focus group discussions or meetings. Subgrantees may wish to engage directly with communities to strengthen their advocacy through inclusion of community voices as technical resources or subject-matter experts (e.g., community representatives invited to contribute perspectives during regional workshops, learning webinars, or knowledge-exchange events). In such cases, participation will be voluntary and managed in line with appropriate consent and safeguarding practices.
