The objective of the Lisungi Safety Nets System Project for Congo, Republic of is to establish the key building blocks of a national safety net program and pilot a cash transfer program to improve access to health and education services of the poorest households in participating areas.
... See More + The AF is aligned with the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) of the Republic of Congo, which, inter alia, highlights the importance of increasing access of the population to social programs. The SCD shows that economic growth by itself has proven not to be inclusive, with vulnerable groups such as the youth, women, and indigenous people (autochthone) benefitting less. Therefore, according to the SCD, to achieve the World Bank’s twin goals, the country could expand existing social programs using the Lisungi program and social safety nets system as coordination elements for policies targeted to the poor and vulnerable. That is, by building linkages with other sectors for provision of a bundle of complementary services for the poor population, Lisungi can help to build resilience and productivity of beneficiary households and, as a consequence, contribute to short- and medium-run poverty reduction. Therefore, this AF that aims to enlarge the scope of Lisungi would help to: (a) mitigate the impact of current poverty and uninsured risks, (b) increase household productivity, (c) improve human capital development; and (d) leverage synergies with other sectors-such as education, health, nutrition and population, jobs, agriculture, and gender-to increase their impact in terms of reducing poverty and increasing shared prosperity.
