PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Project Development Objective (PDO)
PDO Statement
40. The PDO is to contribute to increasing the utilization of quality essential health services in Project-supported
Provinces of the Recipient.
PDO Level Indicators
41. The achievement of the PDO will be measured through the following PDO-level results indicators:
i. Percentage of Eligible Level 2-4 Health Care Facilities36 in Selected Provinces37 that have achieved a Minimum
Service Quality Score*
ii. Percentage increase in the number of Outreach Visits in Selected Provinces
iii. Percentage increase in the number of pregnant women who have received four (4) or more antenatal care checkups*
iv. Percentage increase in the number of children aged one (1) year who have received Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus
3 (DPT3)
v. Increase in the number of registered Drug Susceptible TB (DSTB) patients on treatment who have been cured*
*Given that Integrated Facility Supervision Checklists will prioritize key indicators that contribute to the quality and
coverage of essential RMNCH-N services, this PDO level indicator, along with the number of pregnant women who have
received four or more ANC check-ups and the gender disaggregated increase in the number of registered DSTB patients
on treatment who have been cured, will allow the Project to monitor progress in closing the gender gap in health
endowments between women and men, and the gaps between rural and urban women.
In PNG, PHC services, or Frontline Health Services, refer to services delivered through facilities classified as levels 1, 2, 3
and 4 in accordance with the National Health Service Standards (or other equivalent classification acceptable to the World
Bank and described in the Project Operation Manual (POM), including services provided through outreach from these
