| Description | The proposed additional financing will strengthen and expand the ongoing Urban Primary Health Care Services Delivery Project (UPHCSDP). It will build on the existing partnership with the Local Government Division (LGD), Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MOLGRDC) to strengthen and scale up provision of primary health services in urban areas, especially the poor and vulnerable, and address gaps in institutions and capacity for sustainable delivery of primary health services. The additional financing will support the sector framework, National Urban Health Strategy (2014), and its forthcoming Action Plan. The continued ADB assistance reflects the priorities of the Government's Seventh Five Year Plan, FY2016-FY2020 which places emphasis on the need of primary health care for urban residents including slum and street dwellers. It specifically highlights the need to build a coalition of interests around one harmonized approach for greater coordination between MOLGRDC and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and management of urban health. |
