MPA Table
Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Status
MPA Table Body
The implementation of the MPA-funded projects continues to progress well. As of July 18, 2021, 87 MPA-projects have been
approved providing a total commitment of US$4.2 billion. Disbursements during the past month have increased at a rapid pace. Forty eight (48)
country projects or 52% of projects approved have reached 70-100% disbursements. The projects benefit around 3.7 billion people or 50% of the
global population. Of the 87 approved projects: (i) 33 are in Africa – 12 in AFE and 21 in AFW; (ii) 12 in East Asia; (iii) 14 in Europe and Central
Asia; (iv) 12 in Latin America and the Caribbean; (v) 7 in Middle East and North Africa; and (vi) 9 in South Asia. Seventy nine (79) or 91% projects
are disbursing. Total disbursements as of July 18, 2021, amount to US$2.76 billion or 66% of overall commitments. Streamlined procedures,
delegated approval coupled with flexible project design and intensified efforts across the Bank have contributed to the progress. Several projects
have/are being restructured to include vaccine related procurement. Implementation is being guided by Bank teams working in parallel in
other health related projects, including Additional Financing operations supporting vaccine procurement and deployment efforts in
countries. Implementation continues to face challenges as some countries are still under different levels of lockdown or mobility restrictions and
counterparts and Bank teams are operating from home or partially from home. Also, several countries are phasing new waves of infections. Most
Bank teams continue to conduct implementation support missions virtually, which is challenging for both Bank teams and counterparts. This has
created connectivity challenges as internet is not reliable in many countries, especially IDA countries. Notwithstanding challenges, the MPA is on
track to achieving its PDO – to prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 and strengthen national systems for public health
preparedness. The significant level of disbursements in just over 15 months attest to the strong implementation efforts of the Bank response thanks
to the commitment of counterparts supported by Bank country teams.
