Project Development Objective The project development objective is to provide cash support and short-term employment opportunities to vulnerable populations in the West Bank, affected by COVID-19. B. PDO-Level Results Indicators Component 1: ? Number of households receiving cash support (89,400) o Number of individuals beneficiaries (447,000) o Of which female (percentage) (50 percent) Component 2: ? Number of vulnerable populations receiving cash for work from the project (3,060) o Of which, female (percentage) (50 percent) Project Components 26. The proposed project will support the PA’s emergency response to the COVID-19 crisis through four components: 1) Emergency Cash Transfers in the West Bank; 2) Cash for Work in the West Bank; 3) Capacity Building Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation; and 4) Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC). These components are described below. 27. The project will also help to lay the foundation for a reliable system of providing cash transfers that will be responsive to future shocks, including climate-related shocks. In particular, the project will use and improve upon, existing delivery platforms to scale up cash support and to provide cash for work opportunities to households affected by COVID-19. This experience will provide valuable lessons and allow the PA to respond quickly and effectively to mitigate the adverse effects of future crises, including those triggered by climate-related shocks, on poor and near-poor households. Component 1: Emergency Cash Transfers in the West Bank (US$20 million) Component 2: Cash for Work in the West Bank (C4W) (US$8 million) Component 3: Capacity Building Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation (US$2 million) Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$0 million). |
