MZ-Social Protection project

closed

The objective of the Social Protection Project for Mozambique is to provide temporary income support to extremely poor households and to put in place the building blocks of a social safety net system. There are two components to the project. The first component of the project is institutional strengthening and capacity building to support the consolidation of the national basic social security strategy. There are two sub components to this component: building permanent systems for the implementation of the ENSSB (Estrategia Nacional de Seguranca Social Basica - National Basic Social Security) strategy; and capacity building for the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the labor-intensive Public Works Program (PWP). The second component of the project is labor-intensive public works. There are two sub components to this component: labor-intensive public works in rural areas; and labor-intensive public works in urban areas.
