Annex IV: Implementation Support Plan LEBANON EMERGENCY PRIMARY HEALTHCARE RESTORATION PROJECT Strategy and Approach for Implementation Support The implementation support plan for the project has been developed based on the specific nature of the project activities, the existing capacity of the implementing agencies and the project risk profile. Given the new design of the essential healthcare package and lack of PMU’s experience with the WB-type projects, the Project will require close support of the WB team to the MoPH and the PMU in designing some of the implementation elements, developing contractual agreements with the service providers, and overall implementation support and capacity building, especially at the initial stages of project implementation. Also, due to the substantial risk rating and emergency nature of the project, the WB team will need to provide continuous implementation support to the project by organizing at least two missions per year throughout the project duration. The supervision plan outlined here provides an overall strategy, the co-ordination arrangements with other donors, likely costs, and the staffing composition.
