Let's build the better world together

This Project Implementation Manual (PIM) merges two concurrent initiatives: the Zimbabwe COVID-19 Emergency Response Project (ZCERP) and the Essential Health Services (EHS) program. ZCERP, funded by the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Trust Fund (HEPR TF) and the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) through the World Bank (WB), aims to aid the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) in managing COVID-19 vaccines and enhancing healthcare infrastructure. The additional financing to ZCERP supports sustaining essential health services post-pandemic, particularly focusing on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH), amid economic challenges. This expanded response, facilitated by various development partners including the WB, aims to bolster vaccine deployment, climate-friendly health system improvements, and RMNCAH service accessibility, quality, and equity in Zimbabwe.
