It was approved by the Bank in 2018, in the amount of US$ 10 million. The Additional Financing (AF) in the amount of US$ 21mln finances scaling up of activities of the parent project to support all Aiyl Okmotus (AOs) in these oblasts in the reestablishment of livelihoods affected by COVID‐19 and create improved access to primary health care facilities. Accordingly, financing and scope of several sub‐ components have been modified and include: (i) financing for the development of livelihood facilities envisioned under subcomponent 1C; (ii) support for improved access to health and safety of the people, and any social infrastructure that supports livelihood development under subcomponent 1B; (iii) the necessary technical assistance, capacity building and project management to implement these components. The description of project activities under these subcomponents of the parent project that follows has been updated accordingly to reflect the change in the project scope and focus. Due to the fact that the main directions and activities within the framework of additional financing are not fundamentally different in comparison with the main project, and changes are mainly associated with an increase in number of ayil aimaks covered by the project and increase in number of investments
