The development objectives of the Community and Basic Health Project for Tajikistan are: to increase access to, utilization of, and patient satisfaction with health services in project-supported areas; to build capacity and efficiency at national, oblast and rayon levels in administering a basic package of health benefits; and to introduce financing reforms in primary health care. More specifically, the Additional Financing (AF) will finance: the completion of the Community and Basic Health Project (CBHP) investment and the scale up of activities started under the CBHP to both ensure their sustainability as well as support the development and implementation of the health sector strategy. The AF is expected to finance a combination of consultant services, medical and computer equipment, medical furniture, basic renovation of an office in an oblast health department in Sughd, and the training of health care staff in family medicine.
