Grenada Safety Net Advancement Project

closed

The objectives of the Safety Net Advancement Project for Grenada are to (i) strengthen the basic architecture of the consolidated Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program and the capacity of the Ministry of Social Development to implement it; (ii) improve coverage of poor households receiving cash transfers; and (iii) improve education outcomes of poor children and health monitoring of vulnerable households. There are two components to the project. The first component is improving conditional cash transfers (US$4.5 million): this component will finance cash transfers to beneficiaries. Disbursements will be made against meeting performance milestones aimed at the gradual adoption of an overhauled business model in results areas including institutions; budget and coverage; beneficiary outreach and targeting; management information systems and making payments against co-responsibilities; communication; and monitoring and evaluation; and the second component is improving implementation capacity of Ministry of Social Development (MOSD) (US$0.5 million): this component will provide technical assistance to the MOSD for improving its management, coordination, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation of the newly consolidated CCT program, including the design of a Proxy Means Test (PMT), a Management Information System (MIS), and an impact evaluation.
