Social Safety Net System Project II

active

Prospective

The objective of the Second Social Safety Net System Project for Mauritania is to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the nationwide adaptive social safety net system and its coverage of poor and vulnerable households with targeted social transfers, including in refugee and host communities. There are four components to the project: component one will aim to improve the efficiency of the Government’s social programs by updating and enhancing the Social Registry and promoting its usage. This component will be implemented by the Taazour General Delegation, which oversees the Social Registry. Component two will focus on enhancing the socio-economic inclusion of poor households by strengthening and extending the Social Transfer Program, Tekavoul, supporting an adequate re-certification and exit strategy for former Tekavoul beneficiaries and facilitating their inclusion in the Civil Registry. This component will also be implemented by the Taazour General Delegation. Component three will strengthen the shock-responsive system for households vulnerable to climate shocks by further developing the early warning system (EWS), the Elmaouna program and the shock response financing strategy and providing a Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC). This component will be implemented by the CSA and Taazour. Finally, fourth component will support the coordination and management of the project and will be implemented by the Taazour General Delegation. Implementation was satisfactory in the ongoing project.
