Health Sector Support Project

Building on lessons from the Basic Health Services Project, the project gave greater emphasis to close monitoring and supervision by MOH to ensure that civil works were closely coordinated with the supply of equipment and drugs under minimum package of activities (MPA) and complementary package of activities (CPA) guidelines. However, efficient planning, a well-executed plan, and close oversight by MOH would have allowed timely completion of civil works and avoided cost overruns. To improve the quality of civil works, implementation arrangements should incorporate closer supervision and monitoring at all levels.
