Next project to be decentralised
The health ministry has decided in principle to decentralise the power for procurement and field-level activities of the next Health, Nutrition and Population Sector Programme (HNPSP), which is due to begin in June 2011.
A decision in principle was also taken to coordinate and merge the high-level as well as grassroots-level activities of health and family planning.
The decision was made at a meeting at the ministry on Sunday with Health Minister Prof AFM Ruhal Haque in the chair.
The ministry starts assessing next course of action of HNPSP. The draft course of action would be prepared by June this year.
A programme preparing cell has already been formed in this regard with the joint chief (planning) where the representatives of DGHS, directorate general of family planning and national nutrition programme will also work.
The health ministry officials reached a consensus on the issue of reducing power of non-governmental bodies to give motion to the procurement process.
