Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Building a safety net for the poor in selected rural areas:(Cost $61.10 M) Component 2: Strengthening safety net administration, monitoring and social accountability:(Cost $9.60 M) Component 3: Building the institutional capacity for coordination, monitoring and evaluation of the social protection system:(Cost $4.30 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project became effective on February 10, 2016, and Additional Financing (AF) to respond to the drought in the South was approved by the Bank in October 2016. The project has made great progress and is overall rated as satisfactory. The FID is implementing the Productive Social Safety Net and the Human Development Cash Transfer programs which combined now reach more than 720,000 beneficiaries, or about 120,000 extreme poor households. Complementary services and linkages have been established, such as promotion of nutrition, health, early learning and parenting. In addition, the safety net programs are promoting productive activities at the household and community levels. Collaboration with the National Nutrition Program, financed under the AF for the Drought Response in the South, 11/30/2018 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Social Safety Net Project (P149323) is productive. Other services such as vaccination, family planning and livelihood development are being provided by other programs to which the safety net programs have established linkages. The Ministry of Population, Social Protection and Promotion of Women is going through some changes due to the political situation of the country. Recent changes in ministerial staff and the delays in contracting a project administrator are still causing Component 3 of the project to be delayed. The Ministry and Bank teams are working together to advance key elements of establishing a social protection system, such as a household registry and a Monitoring and Evaluation system for the sector. Given the excellent progress in establishing social protection as a sector in implementing effective and innovative social safety net programs and in collaborating across ministries and agencies, the Bank is now working with the Government to prepare an additional financing for the project that would consolidate its impacts and further deepen the policy and programmatic approach of social protection in the country. Associated contingency funding, in case of emergencies such as drought and cyclones, is also under preparation. Following a recent severe incident of an attack on a payments transport, the Bank is working with the Government to review payment mechanisms and security arrangements that will also be reflected in the additional financing.
