active

The Adaptive Social Protection for Increased Resilience project (ASPIRE) would provide poor and vulnerable households unconditional cash transfers linked to accompanying measures to meet their immediate consumption gaps and increase their resilience through nutrition, health, financial literacy activities. With a view towards longer term development, the project would also support the development of the foundations of the social protection system and the capacity of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor to implement adaptive social protection programs, in particular focusing on the strengthening of the social registry and the development of beneficiary management information systems, including payments, GRM, and M&E. The ASPIRE would be for a total of US$ 100 million financed from IDA grants, and would supports four components, to be implemented over an eight-year period. The components would be: (a) Delivery of an UCT with behavior changing accompanying measures, (b) Establishing the foundations for an adaptive SSN system, (c) Project Management and Evaluation, and (d) Contingency Emergency Response Component.
