About the project
The GCFF and IBRD provided resources to support the Government of Jordan (GOJ) in maintaining the delivery of primary and secondary health care services to Syrian refugees and poor uninsured Jordanians (the target population) at Ministry of Health (MOH) facilities and to increase the medium- to long-term sustainability of the health system. The AF contributes to the World Bank Group twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity in a sustainable manner, and corporate and regional priorities. As with the parent project, the proposed AF is aligned with the principles of the World Bank Group’s Jordan Country Partnership Framework (CPF). The AF contributes to the Health, Nutrition, and Population (HNP) Global Practice’s aim of assisting countries in accelerating progress toward achieving UHC. The changes to the parent project introduced by the proposed AF will help ensure a stronger focus on monitoring results, maintain service delivery to the target population (poor uninsured Jordanians and Syrian refugees), and strengthen a sustainable health system for UHC.
