National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

4.2 Project Components and Sub-Components
For achieving the objectives, the project will have the following components
and sub-components
Component I. Improving Access to and Use of Services for Control
of Malaria;
a. Sub Component: Improving malaria case management
b. Sub Component: Strengthening Malaria Surveillance
c. Sub Component: Effective Vector Control
Component 2. Improving Access to and Use of Services for
Elimination of Kala-azar;
a. Sub Component: Improving Kala-azar Case Management
b. Sub Component: Strengthening Kala-azar Surveillance
c. Sub Component: Effective Vector Control
Component 3. Policy and Strategy Development, Capacity
Building and Monitoring and evaluation;
a. Sub Component: Policy and Strategy Development
b. Sub Component: Program Management and Capacity Building
c. Sub Component: Monitoring and Evaluation
The first two components would include activities implemented by the
Directorate of the NVBDCP, as well as activities implemented by the States
(on the basis of approved annual state action plans) but financed by the
central government, either in the form of in-kind transfers or cash transfers
through state health societies. Component 3 contains inputs to strengthen
the management support. The project design incorporates recommendation
of the quality enhancement review to focus on two priority diseases malaria
& Kala-azar and to implement scale-up phases with a mid course review.
Besides the above three components, the document will also address issues on
Financial Management Plan, Procurement Arrangements, Impact Evaluation,
Safeguard Policies and GAAP.
4.3 Project Cost
Project costs are shown in two tables. The first shows the total project costs
including the three components and their subcomponents, as well as an
unallocated amount. Because of joint costs across project subcomponents,
it is not always possible to break down costs across different
subcomponents within a component.
The unallocated amount Rs. 1460 million has been retained in the project
costs as a contingency to allow more rapid scale up of the distribution of
commodities for malaria control and Kala-azar elimination, such as LLINs. It
is also a contingency to allow the project to support costs of NGOs
partnerships and efforts to improve quality of services in private practice
