Objectives
The general objective is to contribute to efforts to contain the prevailing cholera outbreak. Support will be directed to the Health Cluster for the roll out of the cholera response plan.
Benefits
Bank support to Zimbabwe will complement assistance by other development partners to avert a national and regional social and economic catastrophe by making it possible to prevent further deaths from cholera as well as containing its spread beyond the current affected areas. The direct impact will be reduction in the risk of infection with cholera among over 4 million Zimbabweans considered most at risk as well as a drastic reduction in the CFR to less than 1%, among up to 60,000 people infected with cholera.
