Nigeria—Improving Primary Health Care Delivery : Evidence from Four StatesThe delivery of quality primary health
 care (PHC) services can have a large impact on the health of
 Nigerians. This study aims mainly at understanding the
 performance of primary health care providers and the
 variables driving this performance. The study is primarily
 based on quantitative surveys at the level of primary health
 care facilities, health care personnel, and households in
 their vicinity. These surveys were implemented in four
 states: Bauchi, Cross River, Kaduna, and Lagos. The purpose
 of this study is three fold: (i) to contribute to the
 evidence base of the Federal Government's health system
 reform efforts; (ii) to inform the Bank's and Canadian
 International Development Agency (CIDA) sector policy
 dialogue with the Government; and (iii) to inform the
 current and eventual health support programs of both donors
 at state level. This study represents the second phase of
 the Nigeria Health, Nutrition, and Population Country Status
 Report (CSR). The first phase aimed at analyzing the health
 situation of the poor and how the health system was
 performing in terms of meeting their needs. This first phase
 identified primary health care as the weakest chain in the
 entire health sector and the level of care the poor use the
 most. This second phase of the CSR is therefore focused on
 the analysis of the delivery of PHC services. In contrast to
 the first phase, this study is mainly based on primary data,
 data collected through facility, health personnel, and
 household surveys. This study is focused in the collection
 of information not previously available, such as detailed
 roles and responsibilities of the Local Government Area
 (LGA) and states and community perceptions of PHC services.
 This study is also to support on-going or eventual health
 support programs of CIDA and the World Bank at the state level.

Supporting Youth at RiskThe World Bank has produced this policy
 Toolkit in response to a growing demand from our government
 clients and partners for advice on how to create and
 implement effective policies for at-risk youth. The author
 has highlighted 22 policies (six core policies, nine
 promising policies, and seven general policies) that have
 been effective in addressing the following five key risk
 areas for young people around the world: (i) youth
 unemployment, underemployment, and lack of formal sector
 employment; (ii) early school leaving; (iii) risky sexual
 behavior leading to early childbearing and HIV/AIDS; (iv)
 crime and violence; and (v) substance abuse. The objective
 of this Toolkit is to serve as a practical guide for policy
 makers in middle-income countries as well as professionals
 working within the area of youth development on how to
 develop and implement an effective policy portfolio to
 foster healthy and positive youth development.

Improving Primary Health Care
 Delivery in Nigeria : Evidence from Four StatesThis study aims mainly at understanding
 the performance of primary health care (PHC) providers in
 four Nigerian states and the variables driving this
 performance. The study is primarily based on quantitative
 surveys at the level of primary health care facilities,
 health care personnel, and households in their vicinity.
 These surveys were implemented in four states: Bauchi, Cross
 River, Kaduna, and Lagos. This study represents the second
 phase of the Nigeria Health, Nutrition, and Population
 Country Status Report (CSR). The first phase aimed at
 analyzing the health situation of the poor and how the
 health system was performing in terms of meeting their
 needs. This first phase identified PHC as the weakest chain
 in the entire health sector and the level of care the poor
 use the most. This second phase of the CSR is therefore
 focused on the analysis of the delivery of PHC services. In
 contrast to the first phase, this study is mainly based on
 primary data, data collected through facility, health
 personnel, and household surveys. This study follows a
 similar methodology used by a facility survey implemented in
 Kogi and Lagos in 2002 (Das Gupta, Gauri, and Khemani,
 2003). However, this study is focused in the collection of
 information not previously available, such as detailed roles
 and responsibilities of the LGA and states and community
 perceptions of PHC services.
