RCRP-2 is the second phase in a 10-year series of projects in Eastern and Southern Africa aimed at strengthening the resilience to water-related climate impacts. It provides a $240 million grant to Malawi and a $10 million grant to the African Union (AU) from the International Development Association* (IDA) in order to scale up RCRP-1 which is currently being implemented in Comoros, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Sudan, the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), and the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO). Countries in Eastern and Southern Africa continue to grapple with climate-related shocks, and climate-exacerbated disasters are increasing in frequency and recurrence, leading to reactive responses that do not address the root cause of vulnerability. Chronic underfunding for climate adaptation investments further exacerbates the situation. “Malawi has experienced 19 major floods and eight catastrophic droughts in the last five decades that have rolled back development progress and pushed more Malawians into poverty. The establishment of stronger structures supported by the recently approved Disaster Risk Management Act (2023) presents an opportunity to support the country’s shift from a disaster response approach to preparedness, risk reduction, and sustainable post disaster recovery, which RCRP-2 aims to focus on," says Hugh Riddell, World Bank Country Manager for Malawi. In Malawi, the project will prioritize the management of the transboundary Shire River Basin, which is significant for the region, particularly for Malawi and Mozambique. It will also enhance coordination between Comoros, Madagascar, Malawi, and Mozambique in improving early warning systems and sharing information, as these countries are often affected by the same tropical cyclones. The participation of the AU will support the coordination among all five countries and three regional organizations involved in RCRP-1 and RCRP-2, and advance knowledge sharing and promote a harmonized approach to addressing climate change in a gender equitable and inclusive manner. “Climate change related natural disasters do not respect national boundaries, and single events can have cascading impacts across the region. Regional projects play a crucial role in fostering greater partnership to tackle these common challenges and facilitate knowledge exchange among member countries, which is critical in accelerating action against climate change,” says Iain Shuker, Regional Director for Sustainable Development for Eastern and Southern Africa. Partnerships are an important aspect of the World Bank’s Evolution Roadmap and the institution’s mission to end extreme poverty on a livable planet. RCRP-2 will join forces with the AU to maximize impact and harmonize support. RCRP-2 fully aligns with the African Union’s Climate Change and Resilience Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032), which aims to provide a roadmap for member states to achieve their climate change commitments and promote sustainable economic growth. “Partnering with the African Union is key to mobilizing more funds for climate finance on the continent, fostering cooperation on climate strategies, and improving collaboration on water resources,” said Boutheina Guermazi, World Bank Director for Regional Integration for Africa and the Middle East. “As climate impacts expand across borders, increased regional knowledge, information sharing, and enhanced early warning systems are crucial to build the region’s resilience to climate change.” The project's five components integrate regional and national dimensions and include promoting policy harmonization, knowledge generation, capacity development, and coordination across RCRP countries. The 10-year SOPs plans to address the challenges of climate change shocks by creating an enabling environment for capacity building, infrastructure reconstruction, and landscape management with benefits that go beyond borders. *The World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), established in 1960, helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programs that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives. IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 74 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa. Resources from IDA bring positive change to the 1.3 billion people who live in IDA countries. Since 1960, IDA has provided $458 billion to 114 countries.

Only a third of children under 5 with suspected infant diseases such as pneumonia or diarrhea are taken to an appropriate health facility or provider. More than half of the health staff in public facilities are volunteers.country:Comoros,subject:health,regions:AfricaEnglishAfricaIncreasing the use of primary healthcare in ComorosHealth/content/wb-home/en/news/feature/2023/11/09/increasing-the-use-of-primary-healthcare-in-afe-comoros2023-11-09T09:32:00ZAfricacq5ComorosKMFeature Story Soilhat Nabahana looks tired but happy and relieved. This young midwife from the Nioumachoua Maternity Hospital on the island of Mohéli hadn't slept the night before, having been called urgently around midnight to pick up a woman who was having contractions. On board the ambulance and on the way to the hospital, Soilhat was assisting Harsoiti Hamdia who was giving birth to her second baby girl, Nadjama. “Harsoiti lives 20km from the maternity hospital where I work. Without the ambulance, I wouldn't have been able to get to her home in time, and she would have had no choice but to give birth at home and without the help of a health professional. I'm glad that the maternity hospital now has an ambulance and that I was able to be there to help her and her daughter,” says Soilhat. The Nioumachoua Maternity Hospital is one of the health facilities supported by the World Bank as part of the Comprehensive Approach to Health System Strengthening (COMPASS) Project. The project has $35 million in funding from the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) which supports the poorest countries with grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects that help reduce poverty boost economic growth and improve poor people’s lives. The goal of COMPASS is to improve and increase access to primary health care for the population, especially women and children. The residents of Nioumachoua, especially women and children, no longer have to travel miles to reach the hospital in Fomboni, the Moheli island's capital. This reassures Djafati Ibrahim, a young mother who is expecting her third child. At 16 weeks pregnant, she has an appointment for her prenatal consultation. “I'm happy because the consultation and delivery fees are free. It also reassures me to know that I won't have to go to Fomboni for my consultations and to give birth, as it's a long way from my home.” Prenatal care during pregnancy can prevent a large number of maternal and infant deaths. Those regular consultations enable the progress of the pregnancy to be monitored, and the diseases that influence pregnancy and delivery to be investigated and treated. Babies of mothers who do not get prenatal care are three times more likely to have a low birth weight and five times more likely to die than those born to mothers who do get care. “We've been seeing an increase in pregnant women's consultations since 2021, the year from which our facility receives support from the COMPASS Project,” Soilhat explains. “In January and February alone this year, we've already had 32 deliveries. The rate has almost doubled since last year.” This increase in attendance is confirmed by Dr. Mohamed Djaloud, Head Physician of the Mitsudje Health District on Ngazidja, another island of the Union of the Comoros. There the project has recruited four midwives and equipped them with various materials and equipment, such as ultrasound, X-rays, incinerators, and ambulances. The project uses a Performance-Based Financing (PBF) mechanism which provides funding to healthcare facilities based on the results they achieve and gives them the autonomy to use resources according to their needs. The PBF mechanism plays a role in increasing the performance of health workers and has positive effects on health service utilization as it incentivizes health workers and health facilities to meet service goals such as prenatal care or family planning counseling. In addition, by subsidizing the cost of using maternal and child health services, this mechanism can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and extend health services to a larger vulnerable population. 90% of healthcare facilities in the country benefit from the PBF mechanism and the recruitment of healthcare staff, notably midwives and nurses. They improve the delivery of maternal and child health services and encourage mothers like Harsoiti and Djafati to visit the health centers for consultations. 116,530 people in the Comoros have received essential health and nutrition services including immunizations, micronutrient supplementation, deworming, growth monitoring for children and pregnant women, and culinary demonstrations to support nutrition. These services are also made available at 116 community health sites thanks to the project. “In Comoros, in order to strengthen the primary healthcare system and improve the health of the Comorian population, it is imperative to tailor approaches and strategies to the national specificity of a small island state, hence the COMPASS Project, whose approach prioritizes the autonomy of healthcare structures via the PBF, the availability of resources and qualified personnel at local level, mechanisms to strengthen those at community level, and to ensure transfers/transports, including between islands,” explains Maud Juquois, Senior Health Economist at the World Bank and in charge of the COMPASS Project in Comoros. The COMPASS Project is making a difference, covering the three islands of the Union of the Comoros-Ngazidja, Mohéli, Anjouan-providing quality primary healthcare at low cost and close to the population.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows averaged 0.6% of GDP in 2011–2020. In terms of wealth per capita, the country’s produced physical capital declined by 27.7% between 1995 and 2018. This limited growth can be partially explained by structural factors, such as Comoros’ weak institutions, small population, limited human and physical capital, and geographic remoteness, which weigh on private sector development. To boost growth in Comoros and embrace greater opportunities, the Comoros Country Economic Memorandum recommends three pathways: unlocking private sector investment, strengthening foundational institutions, and enhancing economic resilience revolving around a set of key policy options: Increase private sector investment, especially considering the country’s limited fiscal resources and the inefficiency of several state-owned enterprises (SOEs): In 2000–2019, private investment represented less than 8% of GDP, on average, in Comoros. Under a modest reform scenario, increasing private investment to 10% of GDP by 2030 and sustaining it there in 2031–50 could increase the GDP growth rate by 0.37 percentage points in 2023–50. Under an ambitious reform scenario, increasing private investment to 13% of GDP by 2030 and maintaining it until 2050 could boost the GDP growth rate by 0.62 percentage points. Achieving those macroeconomic performances will depend on the authorities’ ability to improve infrastructure and connectivity, attract foreign direct investment and stimulate domestic investment; increase financial intermediation and inclusion - including by reducing credit risk and enforcing the rule of law; and improve labor skills. However, it would also require strengthening foundational institutions, enhancing economic resilience, and ensuring the sustainable use of resources. Increase fiscal space through enhanced domestic resource mobilization and public financial management: Between 2016 and 2019, Comoros mobilized revenues—including grants—worth 16.8% of GDP. About four-fifths of the country’s domestic revenues come from taxes. To create fiscal space through domestic revenue mobilization, the country could strengthen the capacity of the customs and tax administrations, reduce tax expenditures, broaden the tax base, facilitate tax compliance, and improve citizen trust through enhanced fiscal transparency. An increase in public spending efficiency through better public investment management or allocation of resources could yield between 0.03 and 0.15 percentage points of additional GDP growth between 2022 and 2050. Boost growth in under-exploited sectors such as tourism and fisheries: The country’s productivity potential manifests itself in its abundant resources, especially related to tourism and fisheries. However, the country’s tourism sector remains at a pre-emerging stage and contributes only marginally to economic growth. Between 2015 and 2019, the number of international visitors grew by an average of 15.1% per year, and 21,400 direct and indirect jobs were created (representing 9.9% of total employment). There are three priorities for unlocking tourism-related growth: (i) increasing quality lodging options emphasizing green and inclusive development; (ii) improving inter-island connectivity; and (iii) enhancing environmental management, specifically related to waste management, controlling sand mining, and environmental degradation. For the fisheries, marine natural capital provides an essential resource base for the development of the Comorian economy. Comorian fisheries present a considerable opportunity for sustainable economic growth because of the abundance of domestic fishing resources and an established domestic market for fish. Investing in physical market, transport, and renewable energy infrastructures would be essential to improve sector productivity. Ultimately, the development of the fisheries sector must be considered within the broader framework of a ‘blue economy’ approach. Reap the benefits of globalization and regionalization: Comoros has been systematically running trade deficits in recent years. The level of goods exports is lower than that of services exports, while the level of goods imports is higher than that of services imports. The country’s exports have been highly volatile because export products have been highly dependent on the impact of the weather on the harvest. Particularly, Comoros could increase the value of its exports through increased integration into the global value chain (GVC) for cloves. Comoros could also benefit from accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) which will increase trade openness and lower its trade costs, and its participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) that could export growth and diversification, attract investment, and result into a growth acceleration. Specifically, the tourism and fisheries sectors could benefit from the WTO accession and the AfCFTA through reduced prices for imported products, enhanced standards for imports, and increased market size for exported products. Comoros has been stuck in a low-growth trap for over 40 years, with growth averaging about 2.6% in 1980–2022, and a poverty rate estimated at 39.8% in 2022. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows averaged 0.6% of GDP in 2011–2020. In terms of wealth per capita, the country’s produced physical capital declined by 27.7% between 1995 and 2018.
