LISUNGI Safety Nets System Project (P145263) poor and vulnerable households to launch or expand income generating activities (IGA) in agriculture, animal husbandry, artisanal fishing, crafts, petty trade, and skills training. Second Additional Financing (AF2) to the LISUNGI project, partly financed by the IDA18 Refugee Sub-Window, in the amount of US$22 million was approved by the World Bank Board of Executive Directors on February 7, 2019 and was declared effective on December 13, 2019. AF2 will expand project activities to the remote Likouala region and will cover about 12,000 households among poor and vulnerable refugees and host populations in the Likouala, Brazzaville and Point-Noire. In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, since April 2020 the Lisungi project has been at the forefront of the Government’s response aimed at providing emergency support to poor and vulnerable households affected by the crisis. The crisis has highlighted the importance of expanding SSN coverage by building on the LISUNGI program.
