This project aims to improve the performance of Morocco’s health system in quantitative, qualitative and accessibility terms, in particular at the level of basic healthcare by ensuring the availability of a quality health service accessible to the most socially disadvantaged groups. The project focuses on three different pillars: (1) planning and forecasting human resources in the health sector; (2) building the management capacity of the human resource department at central level; (3) Regionalisation of Morocco’s human resource services.

Development of a detailed action plan for the decentralisation of radiotherapy and chemotherapy services within hospital health care:
(i) Detailed plans for the modernisation of hospital capacity
(ii) A comprehensive plan for staff training
(iii) Identification of opportunities for public-private partnership
(iv) Estimates of the costs for the infrastructure needed to modernise the hospitals in Balti and Cahul.

Taking into account the specific health context in Croatia, as well as its pre-accession status, the World Bank is co-funding the Development of Emergency Medical Services and Investment Planning Project (DEMSIPP). The objectives of this Project are twofold: to support the reform of the Emergency Medical System (EMS) in line with European standards, and to provide capacity building to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in developing and managing strategic plans. The Hospital Master Planning (HMP) Project is intended to support the MoH to achieve these two related objectives of the DEMSIPP. When the HMP Project is completed, it will allow the authorities to have a better understanding of the health system in the country, and to develop a strategy for restructuring the current health care provider network towards a system that will better respond to the needs of the population of Croatia.

The global objective of this assignment is to support the ability of the Ministry of Health to make strategic decisions and policies regarding human resources in the health care sector, with the aim of securing a sustainable, quality health care system in Croatia.
The Strategic Plan for Human Resource Development in Health Care should ultimately help achieve a more efficient, equitable and sustainable health care system.

Supporting the fight against poverty through the revitalisation of Côte d'Ivoire's health system and improvement of the population's state of health, particularly the most vulnerable (taking account of gender).
The PARSSI consisted of three components designed to improve the levels of use and quality of health care (in the health facilities of the intervention zone and beyond):
Component 1: Institutional support. The private not-for-profit healthcare offer benefits from more efficient technical and contractual support from the deconcentrated bodies of the Ministry of Health.
Component 2: Access to quality essential medicines.
Component 3: Community-based healthcare offer. The quality and accessibility of health care are improved in urban primary healthcare facilities in the project's target zones.

The objective of this study is to examine the liberalization of health worker training by national private bodies in a formal framework, taking into account the harmonisation of training curricula advocated by the West African Health Organisation (WAHO), and to propose a structured model for a health worker training school. More specifically, it involves:
1) Inventorying the main private bodies proposing health worker training;
2) Assessing the quality of the trainers working in these bodies and of the training provided;
3) Analysing the current training framework of public training bodies in relation with the requirements of the bachelor-master-doctorate (LMD) system;
4) Making comparative proposals for training curricula in the private training bodies in the context of harmonising practices;
5) Proposing a structured model for a health worker training school.

Assistance to the Ministry of Health to (i) consolidate the decentralisation process, (ii) improve accessibility to a quality health care offer, (iii) improve the management of chronic diseases and mother and child health care in primary health services, (iv) develop collaboration between the public and private sectors, (iv) set up coordination mechanisms supporting the sector strategy, and (vi) accompany the Ministry of Health in the implementation and monitoring of the sector policy.
