I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Government of Indonesia (the government) is committed to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. While Indonesia has made considerable progress in improving the health status of women and children, progress at the national level is not replicated in all regions and provincial disparities exist—the under-5 mortality rate in 2007 varied from 96 per 1,000 live births in West Sumatra to 24 in Yogyakarta.1 In 2002, there was also considerable concern that progress with regard to the MDGs related to maternal and child health would slow or even reverse as a result of the government’s ongoing decentralization reforms. Since the 2001 decentralization reforms, the main responsibility for managing the health system has been delegated to district governments. In 2003, the government requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the Second Decentralized Health Services Project 2 to help improve the health and nutritional status of vulnerable segments of the population, particularly women and children, in eight provinces.3 The outcome was improved health services in nine provinces and 90 districts and cities.

II. EVALUATION OF DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION A. Relevance of Design and Formulation

2. The project was highly relevant at appraisal. It was designed at a time when Indonesia had just experienced a major restructuring of the health system involving decentralization, which commenced in 1999 and which shifted responsibility for most health and family planning services to the district level.4 Although it posed obvious challenges, decentralization was viewed as offering new opportunities to strengthen provincial health and family planning services. Locally adapted reforms gave health care providers more appropriate incentives, skills, supervision, and discretionary authority to offer quality services. The low quality of public health services in Indonesia was viewed as affecting mainly the poor and vulnerable groups and was linked to a range of shortcomings in the health sector, many of which reflected chronic underfunding.5 The project supported key elements of the government’s National Medium Term Development Plan (2006–2010), with emphasis on areas such as health and poverty reduction, and the government’s long-term strategy for the health sector. 6 It was anticipated that successful decentralization would increase access to better quality care, particularly for vulnerable groups. The project (i) drew on the experience of the ADB-financed Decentralized Health Services Project,7 which aimed to help local governments identify their health care needs

The eight provinces are South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, and Gorontalo. A ninth province, West Sulawesi, was subsequently added to the project.

4 In May 1999, the Indonesian Parliament adopted the Law on Regional Autonomy (Law No.22/29) and Law on

Fiscal Balance (Law No.25/99) requiring decentralization of government services and functions by 2001. 5 Consultations during project preparation confirmed that low quality and inadequate services that did not respond

to the needs of the local population were important reasons for the low utilization of public health services and that, for the poor, even minimal user fees were an obstacle to the use of health services.

and improve the quality of services; and (ii) was viewed as a geographical expansion of the Decentralized Health Services Project. 3. At the time of project preparation in 2003, Indonesia had made strong progress in key health and family planning indicators. However, a number of challenges to achieving the health-related MDGs remained, especially in maternal health. Between 1994 and 2002, the maternal mortality rate fell from 390 per 100,000 live births to 307 per 100,000 live births, compared to the MDG goal of 102. Over the same period, the infant mortality rate fell from 57 per 1,000 live births to 35 deaths per 1,000 live births, while the under-5 mortality rate almost halved, from 81 deaths per 1,000 live births to 46 deaths per 1,000 live births. 8 With prompt and proper treatment, most of these deaths could have been prevented. 9 A consistent pattern of interprovincial disparities exists, with the majority of provinces lagging behind the national average. Income disparities are reflected in indicators of child and maternal mortality, which may be due to gaps in coverage of health services between the rich and the poor.10 The project was designed to support comprehensive reform and capacity building efforts of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN) in the context of the ongoing decentralization process. The project was expected to increase the quality and effectiveness of health and family planning services in the project provinces by improving the clinical and managerial skills of health personnel, upgrading health facilities and equipment, and involving civil society in planning and monitoring the delivery of health services. 4. The project design was consistent with ADB’s country strategy and program, 2003–2005 which emphasized reducing poverty and regional inequalities and promoting human development.11 ADB’s health sector policy emphasized access for all to basic health services that are effective, cost-efficient, and affordable.12 The policy highlighted (i) the health of the poor, women, and indigenous peoples; (ii) setting clear priorities to ensure the most efficient use of resources; (iii) mobilizing resources for the public health sector; (iv) building managerial capacity; (v) testing innovative approaches; (vi) introducing effective technologies; (vii) focusing on functions that involve public goods; and (viii) encouraging collaboration between public and private health care providers. 5. The project was designed to cover 90 districts and cities in eight provinces. The project incorporated lessons learned from the Decentralized Health Services Project (footnote 7) and other projects being implemented at that time.13 The lack of professional and managerial skills

moderately underweight children under 5 years of age in the same period decreased from 35.5% to 27.3%, compared to the MDG goal of 18.7%. The percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel increased from 47.2% in 1994 to 68.4% in 2002 (compared to an MDG of 90.0%). The modern-method contraceptive prevalence rate was unchanged at 54.2% between 1994 and 2002, while the total fertility rate decreased moderately from 2.85% to 2.60% during the same period.

9 Most maternal deaths in Indonesia can be traced to delays in (i) making decisions to refer pregnant women to a

facility that can manage complications, (ii) finding transport to get there, and (iii) appropriate medical care and blood transfusion.

South Sumatra and Central and South Kalimantan participated in previous ADB-supported health sector projects. East and West Nusa Tenggara were included to help integrate inputs of various externally financed interventions into a more comprehensive and efficient local health system. Bangka Belitung and Gorontalo were two newly created provinces that required additional support to develop managerial capacity for health services.

at the provincial level emerged as the biggest challenge, which implied the need for a technically strong project implementation unit to support district implementation units. Like its predecessor, the project was designed to support full ownership by district and city governments through detailed subproject proposals and substantial expected budget contributions.14 6. Changes in scope. The project design allowed flexibility to respond to major health policy changes. The project underwent two major adjustments. The first, upon completion of the midterm review in 2007, was to support the desa siaga (alert village) program which uses a community mobilization approach to promote safe pregnancies and deliveries at the village level. The government launched the program in 2006 and aimed to extend it to 80% of the country’s 75,000 villages by 2015 through training of village midwives, investments in health services, and improved access to emergency obstetric care.15 The second change was in the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake in West Sumatra, when the government requested ADB to utilize savings of loan proceeds of $15.6 million for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of 102 health facilities and the provision of medical and nonmedical equipment for puskesmas (community health centers) and poskesdes (village health posts). B. Project Outputs 7. The project was implemented in two phases because the midterm review in October 2007 led to a restructure of the project. During the first phase (2004–2007), the project had three outputs: (i) strengthened regional capacity to ensure the provision of health and family planning; (ii) more equitable, higher quality, and more sustainable local health services; and (iii) strengthened capacity to support decentralized health services. Activities during the first phase included (i) capacity building in clinical skills such as training and fellowships for doctors (including specialists for master’s and doctorate degrees), and training and fellowships for midwives and nurses; (ii) capacity building in managerial skills in order to better identify local health and family planning needs and poor and other vulnerable groups, and address barriers to access by the poor; and (iii) investments in health care infrastructure through the rehabilitation of health centers and provincial training facilities, and the procurement of medical equipment and vehicles including ambulances.16 During the second phase (2008–2013), upon completion of the midterm review, the project had five outputs (paras. 8–13) and was to develop professional capacity, strengthen regional capacity for referral hospitals and training facilities, and advocate health sector reforms at the provincial level. Overall, the project performed well and achieved most of its targets. 17 Additional benefits should be noted, such as the reconstruction of health facilities in the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake in West Sumatra. At its conclusion, the overall physical completion was 98.7%. 8. Output 1: Strengthened maternal and child health services. This output provided capacity building focusing on neonatal care, particularly in the management of low birth weight

14

Regional governments were required to prepare annual plans in order to access project funding. These were to be reviewed by the central government to ensure compliance with obligatory functions and minimum service standards.

15 About $29.5 million was reallocated, out of which about $21.2 million was utilized for block grants (implemented

during 2009–2011) including salaries of facilitators, small-scale equipment for poskesdes (village health posts), and training for midwives. About 60% of the block grant funds were allocated for civil works (the construction of poskesdes) and the remainder for operational costs for desa siaga.

16 Most of the project’s first-phase outputs were completed during the project’s second phase and are therefore

reported together with those of the project’s second phase. 17

According to outputs and performance indicators agreed upon during the midterm review.

and neonatal asphyxia in districts with low indicators for maternal and child health. Training at the district level involved 6,224 midwives and 243 health center teams. The project financed the construction and renovation of eight health centers and nine subhealth centers, eight midwife stations, and 13 village health posts. At the provincial level, hospital teams were trained in emergency obstetric care and provided with equipment. 9. Output 2: Enhanced community participation for improved maternal and child health (desa siaga block grants). Desa siaga aims to ensure that each childbirth is attended by a skilled midwife at an adequate health facility through increasing community awareness and preparedness. The four pillars of desa siaga are (i) development of notification systems in which all pregnant women are identified and recorded, (ii) establishment of voluntary blood donor systems in villages, (iii) community transportation and communications system identifying volunteers to assist in transporting pregnant women to health centers, and (iv) a financial support system in which funds are collected to encourage facility-based deliveries.18 The project recruited and trained desa siaga facilitators in 90 districts and cities to help communities prepare village action plans to address maternal and child health issues. 10. The facilitators, ideally with knowledge on maternal and child health, were recruited from the villages. The project prepared training manuals for facilitators, including guidelines for the preparation of block grants to finance the activities to improve maternal and child health, as well as environmental health, including a clean environment. Under this output, 732 block grants totaling $29.4 million were allocated as follows: (i) $17.7 million (60%) to construct 449 poskesdes; (ii) $4.4 million (15%) to support the activities of village health forums, including health education and feeding sessions targeted at mothers and underweight children; (iii) $4.4 million (15%) for capacity building of village midwives in basic emergency obstetric and neonatal care, including timely referral procedures; and (iv) $2.9 million (10%) to finance operating costs of poskesdes, as part of the desa siaga operational models (MODS) in villages to improve access to maternal and child health services.19 11. Output 3: Revitalized family planning services. This output strengthened the family planning program through improved capacity for counseling, access to contraceptives, and targeting of the family planning program to poor and vulnerable groups. It supported the registration of poskesdes as family planning clinics serving the village community wherein villages became eligible to receive contraceptives from the family planning program. Activities included

(i) training 38,650 family planning field workers and family planning village institution staff and cadres;

(ii) distributing 4,783 information, education, and communication materials to family planning field workers;

(iii) establishing 3,022 information and counseling centers for adolescent reproductive health;

(iv) training 10,348 program executors on family planning; (v) establishing 90 family planning district offices, including centers for information

and youth counseling for reproductive health; (vi) establishing 3,970 private family planning clinics; (vii) providing 2,197,781 contraceptive services to the poor and urban slum dwellers;

(viii) certifying 1,123 village midwives as family planning service providers; and (ix) providing family planning advocacy to stakeholders at the provincial and district

levels. 12. Output 4: Improved district capacity in managing decentralization. This output strengthened human resource development at the district level through health planning and budgeting. Activities included

(i) training 300 district and city staff from 81 districts on the preparation of district health accounts;

(ii) training 53 district staff in integrated health planning and budgeting; (iii) providing 776 fellowships to district health office and provincial health office staff

to obtain bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees; (iv) providing 935 fellowships to midwives to obtain diplomas 3 or 4; (v) training 100 district health office staff in reporting, monitoring, and evaluation; (vi) developing 90 district exit strategies to support district planning for financial

sustainability; (vii) using national socioeconomic survey data for planning, monitoring and

evaluation, and sex-disaggregated analysis at the district and provincial levels; and

(viii) developing memoranda of understanding between local district health offices and local civil society organizations.

13. Output 5: Strengthened central government capacity to support decentralized health services. This output supported interventions to build government capacity to operate a decentralized health system. The following activities were supported:

(i) preparing and disseminating revised operational guidelines for the desa siaga program;

(ii) developing user-friendly instruments and guidelines for community-based surveillance;

(iii) preparing and disseminating national survey data on local areas; (iv) identifying and disseminating best practices in serving the poor and vulnerable; (v) formulating recommendations on best practices for priority programs; (vi) completing nine operations research studies on desa siaga and other priority

programs; and (vii) developing and disseminating guidelines for advocacy and health promotion.

14. Rehabilitation of West Sumatra. On 30 September 2009, a powerful earthquake struck West Sumatra province, affecting 13 of 19 districts and killing more than 1,000 people. Many government buildings collapsed, including hospitals and health centers. The reconstruction and rehabilitation of health facilities and provincial and district health offices covered 102 units (reconstruction of 64 units and rehabilitation of 38 units) and the provision of medical and nonmedical equipment for the reconstructed health facilities. C. Project Costs 15. At appraisal, the estimated total project cost including taxes was $143.0 million equivalent, comprising $73.2 million in foreign exchange cost and $69.8 million equivalent in local currency cost. The project was financed by two ADB loans: (i) $64.8 million from ADB’s ordinary capital resources under ADB’s London interbank offered rate-based lending facility, and (ii) $35.2 million from ADB’s Special Funds resources. The two ADB loans were to cover all of the project’s foreign exchange costs (51.2% of the total project cost) and 38.4% of the project’s

Page 16: Completion Report - Asian Development BankNew Model of Desa Siaga Development 33.590 Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of West Sumatra 12.214 Contingency 12.600 Interest Charges 10.400

6

local currency cost (18.8% of the total project cost). The government was expected to provide the remaining $43.0 million equivalent (61.6% of local currency cost and 30.0% of the total project cost). The government was expected to provide loan proceeds as grants to regional governments participating in the project, taking into account the fact that the project was expected to directly benefit the poor and would therefore focus on non-revenue-generating essential health services. Participating regional governments were expected to contribute to the project costs in accordance with their fiscal capacity. However, such cofinancing did not occur. 16. At completion, the actual total project cost was $102.9 million (28.0% lower than estimated at appraisal), comprising $23.7 million of foreign exchange cost and $79.2 million of local costs. The total loan amount was $84.3 million (15.7% lower than at appraisal) and the government contribution was $18.6 million (56.7% lower than at appraisal). As a result of exchange rate fluctuations of the special drawing right against the dollar, the total loan value increased to $102.8 million before taking into account loan cancellations. The government requested two partial cancellations—of $13.1 million in August 2008 and $3.0 million in April 2012—bringing the available loan total amount to $86.7 million, of which $84.3 million was disbursed. 17. The project was substantially restructured, with two major reallocations. The first was following the midterm review mission in October 2007 to support the desa siaga program. At that time, $14.2 million was reallocated to the desa siaga program, with accompanying reductions in the allocation for civil works ($11.2 million or 74.5%), equipment and vehicles ($15.1 million or 50.2%), and materials and consumables ($0.7 million or 97.1%). The second, in September 2010, followed the powerful earthquake in West Sumatra. Total damage in the health sector was estimated at $83.2 million and the reconstruction needs were estimated at about $77.6 million. The government requested ADB to extend the project for 2 years and utilize project funds to support the rehabilitation of provincial health infrastructure in the province. Based on the midterm review figures, this second reallocation resulted in revised budgets for civil works (+247.6%), materials and consumables (+547.6%), consulting services and systems development (–57.8%), training and seminars (–34.9%), and community health program (+102.7%). In comparing the appraisal and actual costs, there was a significant decrease in total expenditures relating to materials and consumables (–82.0%), equipment and vehicles (–57.3%), consulting services and system development (–52.9%), and civil works (–42.6%). Expenditures for the desa siaga program (mainly to finance block grants) were $29.4 million, or 34.9% of the actual loan. These changes in project costs and financing were mainly due to the restructuring of the project. Projected and actual project costs are in Appendix 2.

D. Disbursements

18. During the first 3 years of the project, disbursement was slow ($4.3 million, or 4.3% of the loan amount). It was only after the midterm review in 2007 that disbursements started to pick up and then increased sharply in 2008. At completion, the project had a total disbursement of $84.3 million, approximately 84.3% of the original loan amount. This included output 3 (the desa siaga component) at $29.4 million; training, fellowships, and seminars at $18.3 million (21.7%); equipment and vehicles at $12.9 million (15.3%); civil works at $8.6 million (10.3%); project management at $6.0 million (7.2%); consulting services at $4.1 million (4.9%); and fees and/or interest charges at $4.6 million (5.5%). The loan account was financially closed on 8 August 2014, with a cancellation of $2.4 million. The imprest accounts, with initial advances totaling $2.5 million, were established and managed in accordance with ADB guidelines. Actual disbursements started in September 2005 and were completed in August 2014. Annual disbursements are in Appendix 3.

E. Project Schedule

19. Project implementation commenced from the date of effectiveness—29 March 2005—and continued until 31 December 2013. The government requested two extensions to complete the civil works in West Sumatra. The actual implementation period was 8.8 years; however, project activities under outputs 1–5 were completed within the original project period. Overall implementation progress was rated satisfactory. The actual project implementation schedule against the original is in Appendix 4. F. Implementation Arrangements

20. The MOH was the executing agency for the project. A central project implementation unit in the MOH and a subunit in the BKKBN coordinated project implementation at the national level. A similar management structure was established at the two regional levels of government. Provincial project implementation units supported and coordinated district and city implementation units. Health committees with a wide representation of government services, professional associations, and civil society were established to advise the regional project directors and to ensure participation and transparency of decision making. In the districts and cities, regular government staff worked full time on project implementation. Project funds were to be used to contract additional project management staff where needed. As local capacity increased with project support, regional governments progressively replaced contracted staff with civil servants. As the BKKBN was decentralized in 2004, family planning was merged with other local government offices such as health and social welfare, which implied that at least 50% of BKKBN staff was assigned to other services. The 732 block grants made to villages under the desa siaga program component were administered by 732 village forums. During project implementation, the number of project provinces increased from eight to 10, including West Sumatra to support the earthquake rehabilitation. G. Conditions and Covenants 21. Covenants were largely complied with, except for compliance with the availability of counterpart funds every year, which were delayed during the project’s first phase. The submission of quarterly reports and audited project accounts was delayed. The auditor issued an unqualified opinion for all audit reports. No major governance issues were identified. The project completion report was submitted in a timely manner. Appendix 5 summarizes compliance with covenants. 22. The implementation of the project’s gender strategy was satisfactory. The expansion of poskesdes and improved referral helped women’s access to health care services, especially in remote areas. Desa siaga aimed to provide adequate delivery and post-delivery rooms, ambulances, and medical equipment; however, in poor areas the provision of continuous water and electricity in health facilities remains a challenge. The proportion of deliveries attended by skilled medical staff increased slowly, from 56.2% in 2003 to 74.9% in 2012, against the final year target of 80%. Project interventions benefited women through increased access to training opportunities for female medical staff and involved women in the delivery of health promotion activities, including vaccinations and family planning through the posyandu (integrated health service post) at the community level. The project supported fellowships for midwives and doctors. A total of 2,147 staff (1,160 midwives and 987 doctors and maternal and child health workers) against a target of 2,000 staff benefited from these scholarships. A total of 6,224 district midwives were trained on maternal and child health and obstetric care, exceeding the target of 5,000. Based on project data, about 80% of staff in the poskesdes were female and

Page 18: Completion Report - Asian Development BankNew Model of Desa Siaga Development 33.590 Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of West Sumatra 12.214 Contingency 12.600 Interest Charges 10.400

8

about 65% in the puskesmas.20 At the community level, more women prefer delivery in the poskesdes and puskesmas and benefit from antenatal services. Appendix 6 summarizes key achievements of the gender strategy. H. Consultant Recruitment and Procurement

23. The project envisaged 130 person-months of international consultants and 388 person-months of national consultants for support in project management, health system development, health planning and financing, human resources development, public health, health information and health promotion, civil works, and health technology. The consultants were engaged by the central project implementation units of the MOH and BKKBN according to needs at the national level and on request by the regions. The initial budget for consultants was $8.7 million. Actual expenditure was $4.1 million, 52.9% lower than the costs at appraisal. The use of consultants was fundamentally different to the original requirements planned at appraisal. After the midterm review, it was expected that only one international consultant (2 person-months) and four national consultants (a total of 80 person-months) would be used for civil works and architecture, human resource development, financial management, and information and communications technology and health information. Instead, the consultant budget was used mainly to hire project management staff for the project implementation units (359 staff for a total of 12,556 person-months) and three national consultants in the areas of system development and financing (7 person-months), community empowerment (7 person-months), and monitoring and evaluation (2 person-months). Most of the consultants who were used for project management worked at the district level (76% of consultants and 74% of person-months), while 18% of consultants worked at the province level (accounting for 17% of person-months) and 7% of consultants worked at the central level (accounting for 9% of person-months). Appendix 7 provides the details on the use of national consultants for project management. 24. The project experienced major delays in the procurement of goods. The main problem was delays in initiating and completing procurement actions. For example, district civil works for new construction were expected at appraisal to begin in January 2004 and to be completed at the end of 2005. In fact, this did not begin until January 2006 and was not completed until the end of 2011. Originally, the project anticipated the procurement of 162 packages of civil works, including 62 packages of new construction and 100 packages of building renovations. However, fewer facilities were built or renovated than expected, and the actual procurement involved only 51 packages of civil works, made up of 13 packages of new construction and 38 packages of building renovations. At appraisal, the procurement of medical equipment for districts was expected to begin in January 2005 and to be completed by the end of 2008. In fact, procurement did not begin until January 2006 and was not completed until the end of 2011. Procurement of civil works and goods is described in Appendix 8. I. Performance of Consultants, Contractors, and Suppliers 25. In general, the performance of consultants, contractors, and suppliers was satisfactory. The executing agency noted that the civil works contractors provided moderate-quality construction of health facilities. During the project’s first phase, most construction was for new and renovated health centers and for contraceptive warehouses. In the second phase, most construction was for new and renovated poskesdes and posyandu with community participation,

and was of better quality. According to the executing agency project completion report, suppliers generally provided good-quality medical, information and communication technology, and office equipment. However, in a few locations the suppliers did not deliver complete sets of equipment or failed to provide spare parts. Most of the furniture was locally supplied and was of good quality. Anecdotal evidence suggests that, in both East Nusa Tenggara and West Sumatra, the overall quality of health centers was moderate. Buildings tended to deteriorate easily, which may be partly related to the lower quality of materials used and inadequate provision of operational funding due to limited local government budgets.21 J. Performance of the Borrower and the Executing Agency 26. The performance of the borrower was satisfactory. During the first phase of the project (2004–2007) counterpart funds were not released in a timely manner, which not only delayed project implementation but also contributed to the need to redesign the project at the time of the midterm review. During the project’s second phase (2007–2013), however, counterpart funds were received in a timely manner. However, key administrative personnel in the executing agency changed frequently, and project coordination in respect of output 3 was hampered because of limited interaction between the MOH and BKKBN. K. Performance of the Asian Development Bank 27. ADB’s performance was satisfactory. ADB paid close attention to the implementation of the project and provided technical support. During the midterm review, ADB worked closely with the MOH in aligning the project to government priorities to help achieve the MDGs related to maternal and child, adjust the project scope, and reallocate resources. ADB was proactive and demonstrated flexibility in responding to the disaster in West Sumatra caused by the 2009 earthquake. In the course of project implementation, 22 missions, including both review and special project administration missions, were fielded and site visits were undertaken to gain in-depth information about project implementation in a large number of districts. ADB approved two extensions. However, there was high turnover in project officers, and five different staff implemented the project.

III. EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE A. Relevance 28. The project is rated relevant. During the three decades preceding the design of the project, Indonesia had given high priority to improving physical access of the rural population to primary health care services. To address persistently high levels of maternal mortality and to improve access to clinical methods of contraception, trained nurses and midwives were placed in most rural villages. 22 From January 2004, regional governments also became responsible for ensuring access to family planning and reproductive health programs, taking over this function from the successful BKKBN family planning program, which had operated according to a highly centralized model. The project supported the local-government-led family planning program and helped to build the required capacity and commitment at the district level to support family

The average distance to a health facility in 2002 was 5.0 kilometers in rural areas and 1.5 kilometers in urban areas.

planning.23 One of the BKKBN’s key policies was to provide free or subsidized contraceptives to the poor. 29. The government was in the process of decentralizing both the health system and the family planning program, and it was unclear how this would affect the provision of basic health services and, ultimately, the achievement of the health-related MDGs. Given the low rate of utilization of public health services, there was also a need to develop effective models of public–private partnership in the delivery of health services, which the project did not address during implementation. The redesign of the project at the time of the midterm review, although aiming to accelerate key MDG targets on maternal and child health, resulted in a centralized rather than decentralized project and, hence, a loss of ability to influence the decentralization policies adopted by the districts. Instead, the project focused on strengthening the provision of village maternal and child health services as part of the desa siaga program. This focus may have become less relevant because of rapid socioeconomic changes in the rural areas at the time and the introduction of jamkesmas (community health insurance schemes) and jampersal (birth delivery insurance scheme).24 Rural roads had improved significantly and so access to health facilities improved, which may have implied that village health services could be expected to be less well utilized as rural people began to make greater use of hospitals and urban private health services. B. Effectiveness in Achieving Outcome 30. The project is considered less effective. The assessment of the outcome is based on the Indonesia Demographic and Health Surveys 2002–2003 and 2012,25 which are considered to provide highly reliable estimates.26 The project was designed to improve health services in the project area, which implied improved utilization, especially by the poor, of key maternal and child health services needed to achieve the government’s health-related MDGs.27 As in the Decentralized Health Services Project (footnote 7), the project continued to support the government’s expansion of the number of health facilities in remote areas. The main hindrance to boosting immunization coverage remains access to, and limited health facilities in, remote areas where road access remains limited, such as in parts of eastern Indonesia. One goal of the project was to increase measles immunization coverage from 71.8% (2003) to 85.0% (2012). By 2012, the measles vaccination rate was lower than the target of 85.0% and lower still in the project provinces (77.9%).28 The slow increase in measles immunization rates can be explained by the fact that, between 2006 and 2010, the government budget allocation for maternal and child health decreased significantly.29 Further, during the second phase of the project, significant

The same data sets were used in ADB’s performance evaluation report of the Decentralized Health Services Project in December 2013.

27 The utilization of health facilities is largely determined by their physical access—the higher the per capita

expenditure levels the smaller the distance to reach health facilities. 28

Between 2006 and 2010, the Ministries of Health budget allocation for maternal health decreased from 2.23% to 0.56% and the allocation for child health decreased from 1.54% to 0.56%.

11

resources were transferred to output 2 (block grants for desa siaga), which did not specifically address immunization. 31. The project included a target that, by the end of 2012, the contraceptive prevalence rate would increase by 10% from the benchmark in every project province. This indicator was used for measuring the success of family planning programs. Data suggest that the project had a significant positive effect on the use of modern contraceptives, which increased from 49.6% to 55.2% between 2003 and 2012 in the project provinces. This compared to a smaller increase from 58% to 59.4% in nonproject provinces. The second indicator for measuring the impact of family planning involved unmet contraception needs among married women aged 15–49 years. It showed no significant effect. In fact, the unmet need for contraception actually increased, from 10.5% to 12.5%, between 2003 and 2012, against a target of 8%. 32. Evidence suggests that the project’s effect on the percentage of obstetric deliveries attended by skilled providers was limited. In the project provinces, rates increased significantly, from 56.5% to 74.9%, between 2003 and 2012, although the target of 80.0% was not met. This can be attributed to the relatively short implementation period (3 years) of the desa siaga approach during the second phase of the project.30 It should be noted that regional variations in births attended by skilled medical staff are substantial. In 2013, in East Nusa Tenggara 66.8% of deliveries were attended by medical staff in comparison to 97.5% in North Sumatra. 33. Data from the project’s internal evaluation report in 2011, which assessed the performance of the desa siaga, showed different and more positive results.31 Key achievements included improved health system performance, including physical access; a 30.0% increase in utilization of maternal and child health care (i.e., antenatal care), and a 44.0% increase in timely referral.32 There is little difference reported in the percentage of births in poskesdes, with 13.1% in project villages compared to 12.1% in nonproject villages. The percentage of births in hospitals was higher in project villages (28.0%) than in nonproject villages (17.0%) and the percentage of births at home was lower in project villages (33.7%) than nonproject villages (49.1%). The report rated the desa siaga approach sustainable, with 68% of desa siaga villages expected to obtain the funding needed to sustain their activities through local government resources such as the village allocation fund and national government budget. Data on health outcomes are summarized in Appendix 9. C. Efficiency in Achieving Outcome and Outputs 34. The project is rated less efficient. The project benefits were expected to be realized by exploiting the opportunities created by decentralization to improve the quality of health services by giving providers the needed incentives, skills, supervision, material support, and discretionary authority. The original project design followed the provisions of government

30

Ministry of Health. 2013. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas). Jakarta; UNICEF reports that, from 2005 to 2010, the national average rate of births attended by a professional birth attendant was 82.2%. However, in 20 out of 33 provinces, the rates were below the national average.

However, these sums do not include the additional support that desa siaga operational model villages received from health centers, including (according to the report) about Rp50 million per village in equipment and medicines every 2 years and 24-hour coverage by a midwife.

regulation KMK 35/2003,33 which established arrangements for financial sharing under which the amount of project grants to districts and cities would be linked to their fiscal capacity, with the local governments providing counterpart funds to finance the balance of project costs. However, KMK 35/2003 did not provide clear implementation guidance, and local governments were not prepared to manage foreign loans or to provide sufficient counterpart funds. Although government regulations were modified from 2005 to 2007 to correct this problem, only 10% of project funds were disbursed after 48% of the elapsed project period, prior to the midterm review. 35. After the midterm review, substantial changes were made to the project’s implementation arrangements. During the second phase, the project (i) became centrally funded and focused mainly on MOH priorities at the central level, (ii) supported long-standing commitments to the control of communicable diseases and maternal and child health, and (iii) focused on village maternal and child health services. Other factors that undermined project efficiency included (i) substantial delays in the release of counterpart funds during the first 3 years, (ii) high staff turnover at the district level, and (iii) gaps in government policy for staff incentives at the peripheral level. On the other hand, the use of project funds to support the rebuilding of health infrastructure in West Sumatra following the 2009 earthquake enhanced the project’s efficiency. D. Preliminary Assessment of Sustainability 36. The project is rated likely sustainable. A review of recent trends in public health expenditure found that, although the level of public health expenditure in Indonesia is still low compared to neighboring countries, expenditures have increased in recent years, especially at the district level.34 However, districts have little effective control over their budgets, controlling mainly nonpersonnel costs, and are challenged by increased inequality both in terms of the share of total district government expenditure allocated to health, and in levels of public health expenditure per capita. It is projected that the project’s annual recurrent costs will absorb 12.6% of nonpersonnel recurrent expenditure in 2014 in the original project area and 11.9% in West Sumatra, decreasing to 7.1% in the original project area and 6.6% West Sumatra in 2024. The projected fiscal burden is likely manageable in most districts. However, growing inequality among districts in levels of public health expenditure may result in some districts facing a higher fiscal burden. 37. It is necessary to reassess the efficiency of the original project investments because (i) the project as implemented was significantly different from the project at appraisal, as it included a community-based approach to improve maternal child health; (ii) the project was subject to substantial delays during implementation; and (iii) an additional geographical area was added to support the reconstruction of the health infrastructure in West Sumatra in the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake. As a result of these and other less important changes, the net present value of the original subproject in originally eight (then nine) provinces is estimated to be $71.4 million, with an estimated economic internal rate of return (EIRR) of 31% (compared to an estimated net present value [ENPV] of $111.7 million and an EIRR of 37% at design). In the case of the West Sumatra subproject, a larger project impact equal to 2% of the disability-adjusted life year gap was assumed, based on the idea that project investments were used to restore the operation of

33

Ministerial decree KMK35/2003 stipulates that onlending is allowed only for regional projects that generate revenue.

34 The preliminary assessment of the project’s sustainability involved, as in the assessment at design, a review of

recent trends in public health expenditure at all levels, and an assessment of the fiscal impact of project investments at the district level, where most investments were targeted.

an existing public health system. Under these assumptions, the West Sumatra subproject has an ENPV of $16.9 million and an EIRR of 71.0%. The combined project has an ENPV of $88.3 million and an EIRR of 33.0%.The reevaluation of the economic and financial analysis is in Appendix 10. E. Impact 38. Community empowerment for improved maternal and child health, extensive human resource development for health staff (particularly at the district and health center level), and substantial health infrastructure development, including in West Sumatra, are the most tangible project contributions. Based on the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) data (footnote 25), infant mortality decreased in the project areas between 2003 and 2012 from 50.3 per 1,000 live births to 39.7 per 1,000 live births (i.e., by an estimated 10.6 deaths per 1,000 live births). However, it decreased during the same period by an estimated 11.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in the nonproject provinces (excluding the Decentralized Health Services Project provinces, where it decreased by only 7.7 deaths per 1,000 live births). The estimated decrease in the under-5 mortality rate during this period was larger in the project provinces (i.e., 18.1 deaths per 1,000 live births versus 13.5 deaths per 1,000 live births in the nonproject provinces, and 14.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in the Decentralized Health Services Project provinces). However, this difference was not statistically significant in multivariate analysis. Although the absence of any project impact on infant mortality may be due to data limitations (i.e., the provincial mortality estimates are based on births during the preceding 10 years), it is consistent with the small increase observed in the measles vaccination rate in both the project provinces (2.4%) and Decentralized Health Services Project provinces (3.2%) compared with 11.7% in the nonproject provinces, and the insignificant differences between the project provinces and the nonproject provinces in the percentage of births attended by a skilled health provider or occurring in a health facility. There are no province-level estimates of the maternal mortality ratio.35 The project’s focus on the MODS subcomponent during its second phase may also be partly responsible for the absence of project impact. Analysis reported in Appendix 9 indicates that the desa siaga program component benefited those with higher incomes, whereas the training of midwives in the project’s first phase benefited poor people.

IV. OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Overall Assessment 39. On the basis of the preceding assessment, the project is assessed relevant, less effective, less efficient, and likely sustainable. The project overall is rated partly successful. The design was fully aligned with Indonesia’s development priorities. While the project was flexible and responsive to government requirements, both in terms of addressing a changing health policy environment and disaster response, it did not fully achieve key outcome indicators. Given the changes made in the midterm review, the project missed the opportunity to more comprehensively support government decentralization efforts, largely because the MOH remained cautious in decentralizing responsibilities, which was reflected in concerns about the capacity of districts to take over new responsibilities. The project contributed to raising awareness about child and maternal health, helped to improve access to maternal and child

35

The 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) estimates indicate that the national maternal mortality rate increased to 359 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births from 228 in the 2007 IDHS. However, even the 2012 national estimate has a very wide confidence interval (i.e., a 95% confidence interval of 239–478).

health services in remote areas, and overall helped to increase obstetric deliveries attended by skilled providers, though significant regional disparities continue to exist. Evidence suggests that the project had a significant positive effect on the modern-contraceptive prevalence rate. Additional project benefits include reconstruction and equipping of health facilities in West Sumatra in the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake. B. Lessons 40. Project scope and coverage should be feasible. To increase impact, project resources should not be spread over a large geographic area. A large number of intended outputs most likely will slow down project implementation. Investment priorities based on health needs and poverty incidence may contribute to increased effectiveness. 41. Capacity development requires continuous investment. Human resource development is key to providing improved health services. A large number of health staff, including medical doctors and midwives, received scholarships to build capacity in obstetrics and neonatal care. However, local governments’ fiscal capacity to finance capacity development was limited or nonexistent. Significant investments, both in terms of capacity building and health infrastructure, will be required to meet the maternal mortality MDG target by 2015. C. Recommendations

1. Project Related 42. Reduce project scope to increase efficiencies. The project’s scope should be manageable given the rather limited implementation capacities at district and subdistrict level. 43. Proper evaluation of new approaches would help to justify further investments. The project would have benefited from an independent impact evaluation of the desa siaga program so as to allow for adjustments to interventions during implementation and to help the government assess the feasibility of scaling up the program nationally. 44. Evaluate the benefits of human resource development. While a large number of health professionals and auxiliary staff were trained under the project, the benefits from this investment are less clear given the lack of thorough evaluation. Determining future skills gaps and addressing deployment practices will require frequent skills audits to ensure workforce strategies are effectively implemented. 45. Improve maternal and child health through public–private partnerships. The original project design emphasized the need for more public–private partnerships in health care delivery. Given the major shift to private providers for obstetric deliveries in recent years, it is essential to include the private sector in national target programs addressing maternal and child health.

2. General 46. Create synergies. Greater synergy is required between health projects of this nature and government national poverty reduction and social protection programs. Strengthening inclusion of maternal and child health in the context of poverty reduction could more holistically address child and maternal mortality.

47. Sound monitoring and evaluation systems can help to improve efficiencies. The project’s routine monitoring and evaluation systems were not adequate to measure incremental project benefits. Baseline surveys rarely include qualitative data and information comparing project and nonproject areas.

Appendix 6 33

SUMMARY OF GENDER EQUALITY RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS A. Project Description 1. The Second Decentralized Health Services Project1 for $100 million (Loan 2074, $64.8 million from Asian Development Bank [ADB] ordinary capital resources, and Loan 2075, $35.2 million from ADB Special Funds resources) was approved by ADB on 19 December 2003 and became effective on 29 March 2005. The original project closing date was 31 December 2010. The project was extended twice, and had an actual closing date of 31 December 2013. The project goal was improved health of the population by focusing on the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and provision of better primary health care services for women, infants, and children in nine provinces and 90 districts. The executing agency was the Directorate General of Community Health,2 Ministry of Health (MOH), and the implementing agencies were the MOH and the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN). As a result of the midterm review in November 2007, the Government of Indonesia refocused the project to strengthen maternal neonatal child health and support the implementation of the desa siaga (alert villages) program to help meet MDGs 4 and 5 (on maternal and child health). Loan proceeds of $29.5 million (Loan 2074) were reallocated, largely to develop a network of poskesdes (village health posts) and strengthen referral through the training of midwives. In the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake in West Sumatra, the government requested that ADB utilize savings of loan proceeds, and $12.6 million (Loan 2074) was reallocated to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of health facilities. B. Gender Analysis and Project Design Features

1. Gender Issues and Gender Action Plan Features 2. The maternal mortality ratio in Indonesia was estimated at 262 per 100,000 live births in 2005. According to the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey 2003, the modern contraceptive prevalence rate was unchanged at 54.2% between 1994 and 2002, while the total fertility rate decreased moderately. The percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel had increased from 47% in 1994 to 68.4% in 2002. In rural and remote areas, emergency obstetrics care was available in few district hospitals because of a shortage of staff or existing staff were not sufficiently trained or health facilities lacked necessary equipment. Even when such care is available, high opportunity costs including transport limit access. Low access to health services for populations living in rural and remote areas, particularly women, is exacerbated by poverty and taboos related to traditional health practices. 3. The project paid special attention to the improvement of health services for women and children by supporting gender-sensitive planning, budgeting, and reporting at all levels, while giving particular focus to addressing maternal and neonatal care through (i) construction and renovation of health facilities and provision of medical equipment and ambulances at provincial and district levels; (ii) support for pre-service and in-services in obstetric care and skilled birth attendance; (iii) training and supporting of village health volunteers to provide health education, nutrition, postpartum and newborn care, family planning, and assistance in emergency referrals; and (iv) establishment of health equity funds for the poor, especially women, to access

emergency obstetric services. During the midterm review in 2007, the project was substantially restructured to support the government’s community health program (desa siaga) to help achieve the MDGs related to maternal and child health through the training of 5,000 midwives, and the provision of scholarships for health staff. 4. The gender strategy highlighted the need for (i) mechanisms to ensure that women are involved and benefit equally from the project; (ii) gender training for health professionals, district and provincial planners, and service providers to help them understand gender issues in health planning and service provision; (iii) other capacity building activities for health planners and service providers, ensuring women’s participation in all these trainings and project activities; and (iv) collection of sex-disaggregated data for monitoring and evaluation of project activities and beneficiaries.

2. Overall Assessment of Gender-Related Results and Achievements 5. While the gender strategy did not provide clear targets for female beneficiaries or their participation in project activities, the project’s focus on maternal and child health care ensured that an estimated 186,000 infant girls and 1.51 million girls under 5 years of age benefited from the project. About 4 million poor people were expected to benefit from the project. At least 50% of participants in the managerial and clinical training activities were expected to be female health staff. In the project areas, women benefited through improved obstetric services, delivery rooms and facilities, medical equipment, skilled health care providers and medical staff, and health packages. In addition, women were given equal opportunities to participate in trainings and capacity building activities. Overall, the project had a positive effect on improving physical access to and the utilization of maternal child health care and reducing the number of home deliveries. 6. The Decentralized Health Services Project3 financed the construction and renovation of eight health centers and nine subhealth centers, eight midwife stations, and 13 village health posts. The Second Decentralized Health Services Project has had a positive effect on the percentage of births occurring in any type of health facility, particularly hospitals. In fact, obstetric deliveries attended by skilled medical staff increased from 56.5% to 74.9% between 2003 and 2012. 7. About 5,100 midwives were trained at the health center level in basic emergency obstetric and newborn care, neonatal asphyxia management, lactation management, breastfeeding counseling, and nutrition management. These resulted in an increased proportion of health centers with female staff, from 25% in 2006 to 63% in 2011, which contributed to an increase in births attended by skilled medical staff from 53.4% in 2005 to 80.0% in 2012. 8. The desa siaga approach focused on the establishment of village health posts, including the placement of midwives and cadres to empower communities. As part of the community empowerment intervention, village forums, which comprised 68% women, were established to create awareness about maternal and child health including the provision of health services in their areas.

Appendix 6 35

1. Participation, Access to Project Resources, and Practical Benefits 9. The project interventions benefited women through increased access to (i) improved health services and facilities, especially for maternal, reproductive, and other health needs; and (ii) training opportunities for female medical staff and involved women in the delivery of health promotion activities including vaccinations and family planning through the posyandu (integrated health service post) at the community level. The project supported fellowships for midwives and doctors. A total of 526 female health center staff received a range of in-service trainings, 888 out of 3,316 village health volunteers trained on health education were women, and 140 out of 300 (47%) scholarships for training in regional health colleges were awarded to female district health officers. 10. The project supported construction of poskesdes (village health posts). The project financed construction and renovation of 21 new health centers, 40 existing health centers, two new district hospitals, one district hospital, and one provincial hospital. These facilities have delivery rooms, which provide separate bathroom facilities for men and women, however, in some cases toilets and bathrooms are not always maintained adequately. Most poskesdes ensure women’s privacy. Twenty two ambulances and medical equipment were provided to district hospitals. The expansion of poskesdes and improved referral helped women’s access to health care services, especially in remote areas. Availability of delivery and post-delivery rooms and provision of ambulances and medical equipment all contribute to addressing the urgent needs of women. Based on project data, about 80% of the staff in the poskesdes were female and 65% in the puskesmas (community health centers). At community level the expansion of poskesdes and posyandu play and important role to delivery primary health care for mother and child.

2. Strategic Changes in Gender Relations 11. The increased proportion of deliveries attended by skilled health care providers and the increased preference of women to deliver in health facilities suggest that women have more choice in making decisions about their maternal and reproductive health, and that families are giving more importance to the health of the mother and her unborn child. In addition, women’s participation in capacity building trainings improves their capacity to provide better services and is likely to improve their opportunities to be promoted or appointed to more management or technical positions.

3. Contribution of Gender Equality Results to Overall Loan Outcomes and Effectiveness

12. The project contributed to improving the health status, including the MDGs related to maternal and child health, especially of the poor and vulnerable groups in the project areas. The project’s gender equality results were are a result of the self-targeted nature of the project and of ensuring that women have access to higher-level training and fellowships. Activities which addressed barriers to access to health services for women and ethnic groups as well as other key issues identified during the project appraisal ensured that the project’s goal of improving the health of women, children, and other vulnerable groups in the project areas was achieved. As a result of an expanded health service network, there was an increase in the number of skilled female medical staff, culturally appropriate health promotion activities were delivered to community members, there was an increase in health service utilization, and there were changes in behavior in service utilization among women.

36 Appendix 6

D. Lessons and Recommendations 13. Overall, the implementation of the gender strategy was successful, the number of district midwives trained was succeeded and 60% of female community facilitators trained. However, challenges such as placing midwives and female doctors in remote areas remains a challenge. Several factors such as women’s lower educational attainment and cultural barriers hinder professional development and thereby placement in remote rural areas T. These factors pose significant challenges that should be taken into consideration, and strategies need to be developed to address these in future projects to ensure that gender targets on women’s participation and employment are met. 14. It is envisaged that the integration of gender into planning and budgeting at provincial and district levels, such as the 5-year plans and expenditure frameworks and 5-year health sector development plan, will contribute to the sustainability of gender-responsive primary health care delivery in the project areas and improved access of women and ethnic groups to primary health care.

Gender Action Plan (Activities, Indicators and Targets, Time

Frame, and Responsibility) Progress (as of 31 December 2013) Issues and Challenges

Clinical/managerial skills training (district level)

1. Review and revision of data collection and monitoring to ensure data is sex disaggregated and monitoring indicators are gender responsive

Achieved. Overall, quarterly project monitoring reports and end line survey include sex-disaggregated data.

2. Gender training conducted (district level) Achieved. The project focused on strengthening the capacity largely of female health staff and empowering communities for improved maternal and child health. Training on detecting at-risk pregnancies and other health risks pertaining to women were conducted.

3. Ensure that women participate in clinical and managerial skills training

Achieved. - 6,375 midwives were trained on low birth weight management,

neonatal asphyxia management, basic emergency and obstructed labour and new born care (exceeding the target of 5,000). No sex-disaggregated data is available, but overall, majority of the midwives are women.

- 2,147 medical staff received fellowships, out of which 935 were for midwives

- 90 community facilitators were trained, out of which 60% were women

It is recommended that future similar projects ensure the collection of sex-disaggregated data for all activities and indicators

4. Local government identify women for managerial or administrative positions

Capacity building focused mainly on improving technical rather than administrative skills of nurses, midwives, and medical practitioners. About 600 district and provincial staff were trained on integrated health planning and budgeting. However, no sex-disaggregated data is available.

5. Focus on women becoming trainers and facilitators

Achieved. The project trained 90 community facilitators, out of which 60% were women.

6. Training of female cadres to undertake family planning promotion and methods in targeting poor households

Achieved. 42,921 family planning field officers were trained out of which more than 50% were female. Family planning cadres are mostly led by women.

7. Training of traditional birth attendants n identifying high-risk cases, nutrition promotion in pregnancy, and breastfeeding

Achieved. Traditional birth attendants were trained to identify high-risk pregnancies and ensure referral to skilled health professionals, which proved to be key since midwives are not permanently available around the clock in all villages or health facilities.

Achieved. The essence of the desa siaga (alert village) program is that communities are enabled to identify their health needs and priorities. Village health forums are community-based institutions which comprise mainly women. Also, family planning cadres are mainly led by female staff.

9. Involve women’s groups and networks to assist women in learning about health issues and supporting one another

Achieved. The purpose of the desa siaga approach is to empower communities to improve maternal and child health status through existing networks such as the women’s welfare movement and village forums.

Organizing pro-poor health services

10. Assess gender inequality in access to health care and responses of the health system

Achieved. Overall, the demand for maternal health services increased through the desa siaga program, which focused on community empowerment for improved maternal and child health. The establishment of poskesdes (village health posts) aimed to reduce gender gaps in access to health services. While no assessment was conducted under the project to determine gender inequality in access to health care and responses of the health system, difficulties faced by women, especially poor women in rural areas, in accessing health services and facilities were highlighted in the project’s social and poverty analysis. The project focused on increasing women’s access to health care services, especially women in remote areas. Project interventions contributed to increasing the percentage of deliveries attended by skilled health professionals from 53.4% to 80.0% between 2003 and 2012.

11. Recruitment of women’s groups to help in health promotion activities

Achieved. The desa siaga approach focused on involving village based women’s groups as described in para. 9 of the main text.

Planning and budgeting

12. Promote gender-sensitive planning and budgeting at district level

The inclusion of gender in planning and budgeting was not ensured, hence the modules on integrated health planning and budgeting did not include gender-sensitive aspects.

No gender specialist or staff member qualified to ensure that gender is included in planning and budgeting was appointed. Future similar projects should ensure that a gender specialist or gender focal point is assigned to support the executing agency in undertaking similar activities.

Monitoring and evaluation

13. Collect sex-disaggregated data on health status of men and women, the numbers and training levels of male and female workers, and on decision making patterns for family health needs, particularly for reproductive health

Achieved. Health centers disaggregate data by sex and age. Data on training of health staff are mostly disaggregated. Cadres of the national family planning committee use sex-disaggregated data providing family planning information and distribution of contraceptives.

14. Involve local communities including women’s groups in monitoring and implementation of the project at district level

Achieved. The desa siaga approach utilizes local women groups to engage in planning and monitoring of activities in cooperation with the health staff and midwives of the village health posts

Specialist training (provincial level)

15. Training of relevant health professionals about why sex-disaggregated data and gender-responsive indicators are necessary and in the use of new formats

Nurses and medical doctors were trained in provincial hospitals; however, sex-disaggregated data on participants was not collected.

16. Gender training (provincial level) Was not included in the project design

17. Ensure that women candidates are included in the specialist training

Achieved. The project trained nurses and medical doctors but gender-disaggregated data for participants in these training packages was not recorded

Managerial skills

18. Ensure that women participate in training

Achieved. The training focused mainly on technical and less on administrative skills (see no. 3)

19. Managerial training includes training on gender-sensitive planning

Was not included in the project’s training scope

Monitoring and evaluation

20. Collect sex-disaggregated data Achieved. See no. 1

Clinical/management skills training (central level)

21. Ensure that women participate in clinical and managerial skills training

The training focused largely on districts. The project aimed to support decentralization of health services at the local level.

22. Government identifies women for managerial and administrative positions

The project focused on upgrading technical skills on maternal and child health at the peripheral level.

The project aimed to support technical rather than managerial training for women.

1. The data in Table A9.1 (columns 1 and 2) indicate that education among married women aged 15–49 (a key determinant of maternal and child health outcomes in most developing countries) improved in the project provinces at about the same rate as in the nonproject provinces between 2003 and 2012. However, the literacy rate increased more slowly in the original project provinces. The data in Table A9.1 indicate that there was very little change in the total fertility rate between 2003 and 2012 in the second project and nonproject provinces, whereas some decrease was observed in the original project provinces. However, the modern-contraceptive prevalence rate increased by almost 6.0 percentage points in the second project provinces, compared to an increase of only 0.4 percentage points in the original project provinces and 1.4 percentage points in the nonproject provinces.1 Unmet need increased by 2.5 percentage points overall, with a somewhat smaller increase in the second project provinces (increase of 1.4 percentage points) than in either the original project provinces (increase of 3.2 percentage points) or in the nonproject provinces (increase of 2.6 percentage points).

2. The estimates in Table A9.2 (column 1) do not suggest that the original or second project had any impact on infant mortality. However, they do suggest that the second project may have had a negative impact on the mortality of children under 5 (column 2). The data in Table A9.2 (column 3) suggest that both the original and second projects may have had a negative effect on measles immunization rates, which increased by only 2–3 percentage points in the project provinces between 2003 and 2012, compared to an increase of 12 percentage points in the nonproject provinces. The data in Table A9.2 (column 4) do not support the idea that either the original or second project had a positive effect on the percentage of obstetric deliveries attended by skilled providers. The data in the last three columns of Table A9.2 suggest that neither the original project nor second project increased the percentage of deliveries in any type of health facility (column 7). However, they do suggest that both projects may have encouraged the use of public health facilities instead of private health facilities (columns 5 and 6). The use of private health facilities for obstetric deliveries increased by 20.2 percentage points between 2003 and 2012 in the nonproject provinces, compared to only 8.2 percentage points in the original project provinces and 9.3 percentage points in the second project provinces.2 3. One of the reasons for the limited project impact may have been that the project directed much of its resources to the desa siaga operational models (MODS) component that was added to the project at the midterm review. The available evidence indicates that the MODS component was not well targeted compared to other project investments. Figure A9.1 shows the number of project-supported MODS villages per poor person by province compared to the percentage of the province population that was poor at design. These data show that the project’s MOD component was pro-rich.3 In contrast, Figure A9.2 shows that the project’s investment in the training of midwives (including both project-supported fellowships and project-provided training) was pro-poor.

1 The estimated positive effect of the project on the contraceptive prevalence rate was statistically significant in

multivariate analysis (not reported, but available on request). 2 Both differences were statistically significant in multivariate analysis (not reported, but available on request).

3 The relationship is similar if the dependent variable is the value of the desa siaga operational models (MODS)

grants per poor person instead of the number of MODS villages per poor person, implying that neither the number nor the average size of MODS grants was increased in poorer provinces.

Appendix 10 45

RECALCULATION OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY 1. The economic analysis done at appraisal1 identified the project’s main benefit as improved health status of the population in the project provinces. Improved health status was measured as the reduction in the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost. The potential improvement was estimated as the difference between the DALYs lost by established market economies (i.e., Organization for Economic Development countries) and those lost by Asian countries (other than India and the People’s Republic of China). This gap was estimated to be 143 DALYs per 1,000 population in the 1993 World Development Report.2 It was assumed that the Second Decentralized Health Services Project would reduce this gap by 5.2% (i.e., by 7.4 per 1,000 head of population) because of improved clinical quality (1.9%), increased efficiency (1.6%), and the provision of better targeted and more appropriate health services (1.7%). During project implementation, both project participation and health benefits were assumed to occur as follows: year 1 25%, year 2 50%, year 3 75%, and subsequent years 100%. It was assumed that each DALY gained had an economic value equal to the 2002 regional minimum wage (Rp320,000–Rp362,000 per month). Project costs were estimated by adjusting the value of tradable goods (which were assumed to account for 40% of total cost) using a shadow exchange rate factor of 1.20. Project funds were assumed to be spent according to the projected annual project disbursements over a 6-year period. The project’s recurrent cost burden (i.e., the cost of operating and maintaining project investments) were assumed to equal 5% of capital costs (i.e., project expenditure on civil works and equipment and vehicles). The analysis covered a 20-year period (2004–2023) and was done in constant 2002 prices using domestic prices as the numeraire. 2. The economic analysis at design needs to be revised to reflect the actual implementation of the second project, which differed importantly from the project design, and to incorporate revised assumptions in a few cases. The following are the areas where revisions are needed: 3. Definition of the project. The second project became two geographically distinct subprojects: (i) a substantially redesigned and scaled-back version of the original project in eight (but later nine) provinces, reflecting substantial changes made at the time of the midterm review; and (ii) a second, smaller subproject supporting the rebuilding of health infrastructure in West Sumatra province following the 2009 earthquake. The economic and financial analysis should be done separately for the two subprojects. 4. Project impact. According to the recent project evaluation report of the Decentralized Health Services Project, the size of the potential DALY gap was reestimated in 2010 to be only 77.2 DALYs per 1,000 head of population in 2005.3 Use of the revised estimate of the gap alone would reduce the project’s assumed impact of a 5.2% reduction of the DALY gap from 7.4 DALYs gained to 3.1 DALYs gained per 1,000 head of population. However, the project evaluation report for the original project questioned the reasonableness of a lower assumed project impact of 4% for the original project for two reasons: (i) it focused on maternal and child health and “maternal-related illness amounted to around 2% of the total burden of disease in Indonesia,” and (ii) there was only “limited difference between project and nonproject health indicators.” Instead, the project evaluation report assumed only a 2% impact (instead of the 4%

impact assumed at appraisal) in its reestimation of the benefits and costs of the original project. This project completion report, using both the same data set and methodology as used to measure the project impact in the project evaluation report for the original project (Appendix 9), has also failed to find any evidence of project impact on maternal and child health outcomes, apart from contraceptive prevalence. 4 Under these circumstances, assuming even a 2.0% project impact on the DALY gap in the original eight (and later nine) province subproject (instead of the 5.4% impact assumed at project design) seems excessive, particularly since actual project expenditure in the original eight (and later nine) province subproject was 40% lower than at design. At the same time, assuming no health impact seems equally implausible, given the substantial project investments in equipment and training and village health services. Accordingly, an assumed project impact equal to 1% of the estimated 2005 DALY gap (77.2) seems appropriate for the original eight (and later nine) province subproject. However, a higher project impact equal to 2% of the 2005 DALY gap seems appropriate for the smaller subproject supporting the rebuilding of the health infrastructure in West Sumatra because it supported the restoration of services in a previously functioning public health system. 5. Timing of benefits and participation. The economic analysis at design assumed that benefits and project participation would increase linearly during the first 4 years of project implementation, after which it would remain at 100%. However, there were substantial delays in implementation of the second project. It would seem more reasonable to assume that project benefits and participation followed actual project disbursement rates in the original eight (and later nine) province subproject. It is assumed that project benefits in the West Sumatra subproject followed assumed cumulative disbursement rates of 25% in 2010, 50% in 2011, 75% in 2012, and 100% in 2013. 6. Valuation of project benefits. The economic analysis at design assumed that one DALY had an economic value equal to the 2002 regional minimum wage. DALYs are usually valued currently not on the basis of forgone earnings but rather on the basis of willingness to pay estimates of the economic value of an additional healthy year of life.5 In this case, one DALY is typically valued at 2–3 times the level of per capita income, with the value adjusted over time to reflect the expected growth rate in real per capita income. In this case, it is assumed that the economic value of one DALY is equal to the regional level of per capita consumption in 2005 (at 2003 prices) and that it increases at the observed regional average annual growth rate in real per capita consumption during 2003–2007 (6.34% in the provinces of the original subproject and 0.62% in the West Sumatra subproject). The number of project beneficiaries (i.e., the total population) is assumed to grow at the same regional rates observed during 2000–2010 (1.69% in the original subproject area and 1.34% in West Sumatra). 7. Period of the analysis. A 20-year period for the analysis seems appropriate, particularly for a project with such a lengthy implementation period (2005–2013). The project

4 This finding was also supported by more refined multivariate analysis (not reported, but available on request).

However, the absence of any significant project impact on infant and under-5 mortality may be due to data limitations (i.e., the fact that the province infant and under-5 mortality estimates are based on deaths during the preceding 10 years).

5 See, for example, Dean T. Jamison and Lawrence F. Summers. 2013. Global health 2035: a world converging

within a generation. The Lancet (December 3). The recent project evaluation report for the original project used the labor productivity approach in reestimating the benefits and costs of the project, i.e., the estimated benefits were reduced by half to reflect labor force participation.

Appendix 10 47

implementation period is assumed to be part of the 20-year period, with project benefits assumed to follow the cumulative disbursement rates.6 8. Recurrent cost burden. The analysis at appraisal used a single annual recurrent cost rate of 5% for all capital investments (i.e., expenditure on civil works and equipment and vehicles). Five percent is reasonable for civil works but it is too low for equipment and vehicles, which require higher levels of expenditure for maintenance and operation and will need to be replaced after 7–10 years. An annual recurrent cost rate of 15% seems more reasonable for equipment and vehicles. In addition, the second project invested heavily in training and project management. It seems reasonable to assume that retraining will be required and that some expenditure on the services provided by project managers will be required after project termination. Accordingly, an annual recurrent cost rate equal to 5% of the project expenditure on training and project management is assumed. The assumed recurrent cost rates and estimates of the annual recurrent cost burden for the various project components are presented in Table A10.13. 9. Distortionary costs. Because the project is a loan and has little or no revenue-earning potential, the government will have to finance, with funds raised through taxation, (i) its own contribution to the project during implementation, (ii) annual recurrent costs after the project terminates, and (iii) annual interest payments and repayment of the loan principal.7 All taxes (with the exception of lump sum taxes) impose deadweight losses on the economy, and these are part of the project’s costs to society.8 No allowance for deadweight losses was included in the economic analysis at design. It is assumed in the reestimation of project benefits and costs that all government expenditure financed through taxation involves a deadweight loss of 20%.9 A. Reestimated Costs and Benefits of Original (Redesigned) Subproject 10. Table A10.1 compares the assumptions at design (to the extent that they are known)10 to the assumptions (and data sources) used in reestimating the project benefits and costs of the original (redesigned) subproject.

6 The project evaluation report used a 28-year period, including 8 years of project implementation and 20 years of

project benefits (i.e., no project benefits were assumed to occur during the 8-year period of project implementation).

7 It is assumed that the annual payments of the government’s contribution to the project are distributed at the same

rate as project disbursements. In the case of ADB Loan 2074, it is assumed that the principal is repaid proportionately by year (i.e., 5% of the principal in each year) after the end of the 5-year grace period and that interest payments are made annually at the rate of 2% of the unpaid balance. In the case of ADB Loan 2074, it is assumed that the annual interest rate (which is based on the LIBOR) is 2% and that the principal is repaid proportionately by year (i.e., 4.17% of the principal in each year) after the end of the 8-year grace period and that interest payments are made annually at the rate of 2% of the unpaid balance.

11. The project’s reestimated benefits and costs for the original subproject are presented in Table A10.2, based on the assumptions in Table A10.1. Net present value is estimated to be $71.4 million (second-last row in column 7), and the economic internal rate of return (EIRR) is estimated to be 31%. Investment cost accounts for 72.8% of total discounted project costs, while recurrent cost account for 16.6% of the total and distortionary costs 10.6%. The sharp increase in project benefits over time (8.14% annually following project termination) reflects the assumption that the project benefits should be proportional to the total population (assumed to continue growing at the annual rate of 1.69% estimated to have occurred in the project provinces during 2000–2010) and that the value of each DALY gained should increase proportionately with the rate of growth in real per capita consumption (assumed to continue growing at the annual rate of 6.34% estimated on the basis of Susenas data during 2003–2007).

12. Table A10.3 presents the estimated EIRRs for some plausible alternative assumptions about the project impact (i.e., percentage of the preproject DALY gap gained as the result of the project) and the economic value of one DALY (i.e., different multiples of average per capita consumption), while Table A10.4 presents estimates of the net present value under the same alternative assumptions. The results indicate that the EIRR exceeds the discount rate of 12% (implying a positive net present value) except where (i) the assumed project impact is 1.0% or less and a DALY is valued at only one times the level of per capita consumption, or (ii) the assumed project impact is only 0.5% and a DALY is valued at two times per capita consumption or less.

B. Reestimated Costs and Benefits of the West Sumatra Subproject 13. Table A10.5 lists the assumptions (and data sources) used in estimating the project benefits and costs of the West Sumatra subproject. The main differences from Table A10.1 are that the maximum project impact is assumed to be 2.0% of the DALY gap (instead of 1.0% in the original subproject), reflecting the presumed larger impact of restoring the functioning of an existing public health system.

14. The estimated benefits and costs of the West Sumatra subproject are presented in Table A10.6, based on the assumptions in Table A10.5. Net present value is estimated to be $16.9 million (second-last row in column 7), and the EIRR is estimated to be 71%. Investment cost accounts for 67.0% of total discounted project costs in the West Sumatra subproject, while recurrent cost accounts for 19.8% of the total and distortionary costs are 13.2%. The higher percentage accounted for by recurrent costs is due to the fact that 90% of project expenditure in the West Sumatra component was on civil works and equipment and vehicles. The slower rate of increase in project benefits in the West Sumatra component (i.e., 1.97% annually, following project termination, compared to 8.14% annually in the original subproject) is due to the lower assumed rates of population growth (1.34% in West Sumatra compared to 6.34% in the original project) and real per capita consumption growth (0.62% in West Sumatra compared to 1.69% in the original subproject).

Table A10.7 presents the estimated EIRRs for some plausible alternative assumptions about project impact (i.e., percentage of the preproject DALY gap gained as the result of the project) and the economic value of one DALY (i.e., multiples of average per capita consumption), while Table A10.8 presents estimates of the net present value for the West Sumatra component for the same alternative assumptions. The results indicate that the EIRR exceeds 12% for all alternatives except the combination of an assumed project impact of only 1.0% of the estimated preproject DALY gap (77.2) and a DALY valued at only one times the level of per capita consumption. However, one DALY is usually valued at 2–3 times the level of per capita consumption.

C. Reestimation of Costs and Benefits of the Total Project (Both Components Combined) 16. Table A10.9 shows the reestimated costs and benefits of the combined project (both subprojects combined) under the base scenario assumptions in Tables A10.1 and A10.5. The estimates indicate that the estimated net present value of the combined project is $88.3 million (second-last row of column 7) and an EIRR of 33%. Even if one DALY is valued at only one times the level of per capita consumption (instead of two times as in the base scenario), the net present value of the total project is positive ($1.7 million) and the EIRR is 12%.

The financial analysis at design noted the fact that government health expenditure in Indonesia is low by international standards and that chronically low funding has adversely affected service quality and effectiveness, leading to low utilization and relatively poor health outcomes. It also noted that district health expenditure was only about 1%–2% of total district expenditure in most of the project provinces (based on 2003 data) but that it was projected to increase to 5% by 2009. The financial analysis at design estimated that the government’s share of the project’s annual recurrent costs was about $1.6 million and concluded that the budgetary impact of the estimated annual recurrent costs during and after the project implementation is considered minimal. The financial analysis at design also evaluated the likely impact of the project on local government budgets by comparing the projected average annual project grant ($200,000) during the period of project implementation (2004–2009) in a single district “with low fiscal capacity” (Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara, South Kalimantan) to its projected average level of total health expenditure during the same period ($11.7 million), and concluded that the project would “have minimal impact on local budgetary resources.” 18. More recent data and analysis have suggested that

(i) the main problem with health sector funding in Indonesia is not its low level but its inequity and inefficient utilization,11

(ii) both overall and district health budgets have been increasing rapidly in real terms since 2003,12

(iii) there is still wide variation between districts in the level of public health expenditure,13

(iv) most districts have very little control over the allocation of their health budgets (footnote 10),

(v) many district governments have difficulty spending their annual budgets (footnote 9), and

(vi) district allocations for operations and maintenance tend to be very low (footnote 9).

19. These findings suggest that it is desirable to reestimate the likely fiscal impact of the project and its prospects for sustainability. 20. Before proceeding to the assessment of the fiscal impact of the individual project components, it is useful to provide an overview of the level and composition of public health expenditure. Unfortunately, reliable data on public health expenditure (as distinct from revenue) are limited in post-decentralization Indonesia. The most recent set of consistent estimates of public health expenditure, made by World Bank staff using Ministry of Finance data, is provided in the 2008 public expenditure review for the health sector for 2001–2005 (Table A10.10).14 These data indicate that (i) the level of public health expenditure in relation both to total public

For example, one study of district government expenditure in 39 districts during 2007–2009 found that total expenditure on health in 17.9% of the districts was less than 6.0%, in 53.8% of districts it was 6%.0–10.0%, and in 28.2% of districts it was 10.0%–16.0%; United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) et al. 2012.

expenditure and to gross domestic product is relatively low, but was rising during this period; and (ii) district public health expenditure accounts for about half of the total public health expenditure and that its share was roughly constant during this period.

21. Table A10.11 presents data on the composition of recurrent health expenditure at the district level during 2002–2005 (the most recent available estimates). These data indicate that expenditure on personnel accounted for 70% of total recurrent health expenditure at the district level in 2002, rising to 81% in 2005. Because health personnel are assigned to districts by the central Ministry of Health, local governments do not have any control over this line item, which is mainly financed by transfers from the central government. Nonpersonnel recurrent health expenditure accounted for a small and shrinking share of recurrent district public health expenditure during this period, an increasing percentage of which was absorbed by expenditure on goods. Expenditure on operation and maintenance accounted for only about 2.5% of total recurrent district public health expenditure during this period.

22. Table A10.12 lists the project investment costs by subproject. The main problem in constructing this table is the limited information available on the composition of actual investment costs in the desa siaga operational models (MODS) subcomponent.15 Unlike the other project components (including the West Sumatra subproject), expenditure within the MODS component is not reported by expenditure category. This is probably because of the expectation when the original project was redesigned that the funds allocated to the component would be used only for block grants of Rp275 million to villages, including Rp225 million in the first year to cover the cost of civil works and 1 year of operating costs and Rp50 million in the second year to cover a second year of operating costs. Since the project provided block grants to 732 MODS villages, this would amount to a total investment cost of Rp201.3 billion ($18.4 million at an exchange rate of $1 = Rp10,950). The actual project expenditure on the community health subcomponent was 59.7% higher ($29.4 million). The composition of the additional expenditure of $11.0 million is not reported, although it is reported to have included the cost of equipment for poskesdes (village health posts), training for village midwives and cadres and/or management, honoraria and/or salaries of MODS facilitators, motorcycles for village midwives, and other costs associated with “the development of MODS.”16 Rather than attempt to allocate the additional expenditure among the project expenditure categories, it is reported separately in Table A10.12 as a single item—expenditure on the MODS component.

24. To assess the fiscal impact of the project, it is necessary to project the level of district health expenditure from 2005 (Table A10.10) to 2014. Fortunately, there is a district-level database for Indonesia developed and maintained by the World Bank that includes both total district government expenditure and district government health expenditure for 397 districts (i.e., regencies, cities excluded) during 2001–2011.17 These data were converted from current rupiah to constant 2000 prices using the urban consumer price index. 18 Table A10.14 presents estimates of regression models explaining total district government expenditure per capita (columns 1–2) and the share of total district government expenditure allocated to health (columns 3–4).19 The dependent variable in regressions reported in columns 1–2 is the natural logarithm of total district government expenditure per capita, whereas the dependent variable in the regressions reported in columns 3–4 is the natural logarithm of the share of district government health expenditure in total district government expenditure. Statistically insignificant explanatory variables were omitted from the estimated models reported in Table A10.14.

18 There is no regional price deflator in Indonesia.

19 The estimates in Table A10.14 (columns 1–3) were obtained using fixed-effects estimators because a test for the

absence of overidentifying restrictions was rejected at the 1% level in the models in columns 1 and 3 and at the 10% level in the model in column 2. The test used is a test for overidentifying restrictions in panel data estimation that is more suitable for panel data estimation than the more commonly used Hausman-Taylor test. See M.E. Schaffer and S. Stillman. “Stata module to calculate tests of over-identifying restrictions after xtreg, xtivreg, xtivreg2 and xthtaylor.” (http://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s456779.html). The estimates in column 4 were obtained using random-effects estimators because there was no theoretical or empirical evidence of fixed effects, and the Breusch-Pagan lagrange multiplier test for the absence of random effects was rejected at the 1% level.

25. Table A10.15 presents estimates of the level of district government health expenditure in current dollars during 2005–2014 (only the estimates for the first 2 years and final 2 years are reported in the table). The population estimates in each subproject area (rows 1–2) are obtained by applying the estimated rates of population growth in each area to the estimated 2005 base year populations reported in Tables A10.1 and A10.5. The levels of per capita district government expenditure in each subproject area (rows 3–4) are estimated by applying predicted annual growth rates in total district government expenditure obtained from the estimated regressions in Table A10.14 (columns 1–2) to the 2005 base year levels of total district government expenditure per capita (in 2000 prices) from the World Bank district-level database. The shares of health expenditure in total district government expenditure in each subproject area (rows 5–6) are estimated by applying predicted annual growth rates in the share of total district government expenditure allocated to health obtained from the estimated regressions in Table A10.14 (columns 3–4) to the 2005 base year levels from the World Bank district-level database. District government health expenditure per capita (in 2000 prices) is estimated by multiplying the estimates of total district government expenditure per capita (rows 3–4) by the estimated shares allocated to health (rows 5–6). These per capita estimates in 2000 prices are converted to estimates of total district government health expenditure in current prices using the urban consumer price index and estimates of the total populations in each subproject area obtained from Tables A10.1 and A10.5. The resulting estimates are converted to dollars using the average annual exchange rates in each year. 26. The estimates in Table A10.15 indicate that annual district government expenditure per capita in constant prices increased during 2005–2014 at an average annual rate of 5.8% in the original subproject area and at an average annual rate of 7.3% in West Sumatra, while district government health expenditure per capita in constant prices increased at an average annual rate of 11.9% in the original subproject area and 14.5% in West Sumatra. The reason for the difference is that the share of district government expenditure allocated to health increased during this period from 7.9% to 13.1% in the original subproject area and from 7.4% to 13.2% in West Sumatra (i.e., surpassing considerably the targeted share of 10.0%).

27. Table A10.16 presents projections of the project’s fiscal impact during the post-project period 2014–2024. The projections assume that district government health expenditure will grow at an annual rate of 6% in both subproject areas, which is about the same rate as the estimated growth rate in total district government expenditure in constant prices during 2005–2014. However, it is assumed that the share of district government expenditure allocated to health will remain constant during this period at its 2014 level of about 13%. The projected composition of district government health expenditure is assumed to follow the average shares during 2002–2005 in Table A10.11. The results indicate that the project’s fiscal impact looks quite manageable if the focus is on the project’s estimated recurrent costs (Table A10.13) in relation to total district health expenditure (as in the financial analysis at design), i.e., 1.7% (West Sumatra) and 1.8% in the original subproject area in 2014, decreasing to 1.0% in both areas in 2024. However, if only the fiscal impact is assessed with respect to recurrent health expenditure, the projected fiscal impact is significantly higher, i.e., 2.6%–2.7% in 2014, decreasing to 1.4%–

1.5% in 2024. If the fiscal impact is assessed more reasonably in relation to the projected levels of nonpersonnel recurrent health expenditure (the only component over which district governments exercise some control), the projected fiscal impact is considerably higher, i.e., 11.9%–12.6% in 2014, decreasing to 6.6%–7.1% in 2024.

28. The projections of fiscal impact in Table A10.16 are done at an aggregate level, not for individual districts. However, according to the World Bank district-level database, variation in both (i) the share of total district government expenditure allocated to health, and (ii) the level of district health expenditure per capita have increased over time, suggesting that project investments are more likely to be sustainable in some districts than in others.
