El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and one of the most densely populated in the world. El Salvador is among the countries most affected by weather-related events and other hazards, incurring annual losses of around 2.5 percent of GDP. Worldwide, it ranks second highest for risk exposure to two or more hazards and highest for the total population at a relatively high risk of mortality. Furthermore, climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of weather, related events. The new Administration is committed to making El Salvador more ‘productive, educated, and safe’ by promoting inclusive growth and resilience. The World Bank Group’s (WBG) proposed new CPF intends to promote inclusive growth and to foster resilience, with a focus on policy levers that could contribute to break the vicious circles in a sustainable manner. The proposed CPF is aligned with the Government’s priorities and informed by the WBG’s recent SCD. To strengthen the mutually-reinforcing foundations of inclusive growth, the proposed WBG engagement would support objectives which seek to: (i) build capacity to create safer communities for economic development; (ii) improve secondary-school attainment; (iii) enhance youth employability and skills; and (iv) increase access to finance. To foster sustainability and resilience, the proposed CPF seeks to: (v) promote the efficiency of public spending; and (vi) build capacity to manage disasters and environmental challenges. Taking into account the challenges faced by El Salvador, the WBG wishes to provide a modest but catalytic role through the implementation of these six objectives.Date

Population Issues in the 21st Century : The Role of the World BankWorld Bank (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2007-04)The objective of this paper is to
 discuss some obstacles and opportunities presented by
 population processes in order to prioritize areas for
 investment and analytical work as background information for
 the 2007 HNP Sector Strategy. Within HNP, two areas fall
 within population: (1) reproductive, maternal, and sexual
 health issues, and the health services that address them;
 and (2) levels and trends in births, deaths, and migration
 that determine population growth and age structure. Many of
 the aspects of delivery of sexual and reproductive health
 services are addressed in the overall sector strategy. This
 paper, therefore, focuses on the determinants and
 consequences of demographic change, and on policies and
 interventions that pertain to fertility and family planning.
 The paper consists of five sections. First, this section
 defines the scope of population as used in the HNP sector,
 and the areas that will be considered in this note are
 specified. This is followed by a description of recent
 trends in demographic indicators that have created the
 demographic backdrops for addressing development issues. The
 third section discusses the role the World Bank can play in
 population issues and places population within the context
 of economic growth, poverty reduction, and equity
 considerations. The fourth section deals with the global
 policy context since the 1994 Cairo International Conference
 on Population and Development (ICPD) which has guided the
 priorities of developing countries and donors in the past 13
 years. The final section discusses collaboration between
 World Bank and partner development agencies in addressing
 different aspects of population.

Maternal and Child Survival : Findings from Five Countries Experience in Addressing Maternal and Child Health ChallengesSarker, Intissar; Saadat, Seemeen; Cortez, Rafael; Chowdhury, Sadia (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-12-17)Considerable progress has been made towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) since 1990. Although advances in improving MDG 4 and MDG 5a (reducing child and maternal mortality, respectively) have been made, progress is some countries have been insufficient. While some countries have made substantial gains, others have not. This paper is part of a larger study that aims to address this gap in knowledge. The paper discusses the findings from qualitative case studies of five countries that are either on track to meet MDGs 4 and 5a by 2015 or have made significant progress to this end (Bolivia, China, Egypt, Malawi and Nepal). Although they have different socio-economic characteristics, all have made significant advancements due to a strong commitment to improving maternal and child health. To do this, strong political commitment, through policies backed by financial and programmatic support, was critical. In addition, focusing on the most vulnerable populations helped increase access to and use of services. Empowering women and families through education, employment, and poverty reduction programs have led to better health outcomes. These countries still face challenges, however, in terms of the evolving health system, and changes at the economic, social and political levels. Future qualitative and quantitative analyses on the returns of health investments, the political context and institutional arrangements at the country level could help deepen the understanding of the ways in which various countries, with their unique conditions, can improve MCH.

Jamaica’s Effort in Improving Universal Access within Fiscal ConstraintsChao, Shiyan (World Bank, Washington DC, 2013-05-02)Jamaica's primary health care system was a model for the Caribbean region in the 1990s. Because of it, Jamaicans enjoy relatively better health status than people in other countries of similar income level in the Caribbean region. However, Jamaica's health system is being severely challenged by persistent and reemerging infectious diseases and by the rapid increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries. At the same time, the country has suffered from low economic growth and carries a high debt burden, which leaves limited fiscal space for improving health care. The Government of Jamaica has been trying to sustain the gain in health outcomes and improve access to health care for its population in an environment of constrained resources during the last decade. With the establishment of the Jamaica National Health Fund (NHF) in 2003 and the abolition of user fees at public facilities in 2008, the Government of Jamaica has taken steps toward achieving universal coverage. This study reviews the achievements and challenges in expanding universal access in Jamaica and assesses the impact of the NHF's drug-subsidy programs and the abolition of user fees on universal access, and discusses policy options for achieving universal coverage.
