 April
2, 2004 – Washington DC, USA.- The GDLN Health
Program launched the “Improving Bank Business”
series this week by holding an interactive session which
connected the Washington DC based Project Managers with
the Nicaragua based Project Implementation Unit (PIU).
The purpose of the meeting was to conduct an evaluation
on the Nicaragua Health Services Modernization Project,
thus supporting the evaluation phase of the project cycle
Through the Improving Bank Business Series, GDLN will
be made available as a supporting tool for the Project
Cycle which can help to reduce project costs, increase
supervision, and balance work/life demands. As part
of the Program, GDLN will support the complete project
cycle in all phases: Identification - Preparation -
Initial Evaluation - Negotiations - Implementation and
Supervision - Evaluation.
The GDLN Health Approach will also feature a LAC MDG
Policy Dialogues Series, the Milestone Dialogues Series
featuring innovative contributions in the field of public
health, and the Open Offering series made possible through
external partnerships with sector-focused organizations.
The GDLN Health Approach has been jointly developed
by the World Bank’s Latin America and the Caribbean
(LAC) Health Unit and the GDLN LAC coordinating team.
