| Project Detail |
The development objective of the Safety Nets Project for Mali are to increase access to targeted cash transfers for poor and vulnerable households and build an adaptive national safety net system in Recipientâ??s territory . The project consists of three components. i) cash transfer program and accompanying measures; ii) establishment of a basic safety net system; and iii) project management. The proposed additional finance (AF) will finance existing activities of the parent project as well as the introduction of two additional new sub-components to further enhance the impact of a well-performing operation. Specifically, the AF will (a) support Component 1 of the parent project by financing 12 quarterly cash transfers with accompanyingmeasures (from July 2016 to June 2019) for 3,000 households in selected district(s) following the parent project’s expansion plan and (b) expand the coverage of the project by providing labor-intensive public works (LIPWP); (b) income-generating activities (IGAP);(two new sub-components) in areas of the country where populations are vulnerable to economic, political, social, weather/climate change, and security-related shocks. LIPWP will provide the adult population enrolled in the Social Registry with short-term employmentopportunities, while building communal assets that will increase the resilience of communities toshocks and climate change risks. On the other hand, IGAP will seek to enable both small andsubsistence agriculture workers, as well as poor and vulnerable households that receive regularcash transfers and are enrolled in the Social Registry, to be more productive, while at the sametime boosting the local economy. |
