Guinea - Health and Nutrition

This project was implemented over the period 1994-2002 with a World Bank credit of $24.6 million. The objective was to improve the health status of the population of Middle and Lower Guinea (the prefectures of Boke, Kindia, Mamou and Labe regions), especially the most vulnerable groups of the population, by increasing quality and access to low-cost basic health services. This was to be accomplished through (1) expansion of service coverage and quality improvement of health, nutrition and family planning services; and (2) strengthening sector organization, management and resource mobilization and community participation in order to build a sustainable program.
