The Health and Social Protection Project provides an opportune mechanism for the Bank to respond in a quick and flexible manner to the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic's request for financing in the face of the food price crisis. Specifically, with its focus on supporting the strengthening of the country's health and social protection systems, using a sector-wide approach (for the health component), and the existing project provides a strong operational and strategic foundation for the additional financing. The additional grant will support an urgent response to the current food price crisis through additional activities not anticipated in the initial project design. Specifically, two interventions will have a positive mitigation impact to food price shocks: (i) interventions to reduce nutritional vulnerability of at-risk pregnant women and infant young children through the provision of nutritional supplements and nutrition education; and (ii) a temporary scaling up of targeted cash transfers during the upcoming 2008/2009 winter season. The Bank is also proposing a third intervention, to support activities to enhance longer-term food supply (which will be addressed through additional financing for the Agricultural Investment Support Project). In addition, the Bank team is working closely with the Kyrgyz Government to develop the right policy response, including through administrative actions and policy measures, without distorting price signals and aligned with growth prospects and strategies. While the additional financing will be consistent with the original project development objectives for the Health and Social Protection Project, these will be amended to reflect the objectives of the global food crisis response program. Specifically, two additional objectives will be added to the original: (a) protecting and improving health and nutritional status of particularly vulnerable populations in the Kyrgyz Republic in the face of food price shocks, by providing nutritional supplements and nutrition education to pregnant/lactating women, and infants/young children; and (b) helping poor Kyrgyz families manage and mitigate the impact of food price shocks and protect consumption (general and food consumption) by scaling up and strengthening targeted cash transfers.**
