There are three components to the project, the first component being strengthening and efficiency of social protection system. The objective of this component is to strengthen the capacity of the Government to improve the harmonization, transparency, accountability and follow up mechanisms of MIDES CCT programs. This component finances three sub-components aimed at: (i) improving social protection system instruments; (ii) enhancing the management tools of individual social programs; and (iii) strengthening the monitoring and evaluation capacity of MIDES. The second component is the MIDES territorial structure and direct family support. This component will support the strengthening of MIDES’ territorial structure to operationalize such activities as outreach and registration, management of non-compliance, transparency and accountability, and information collection processes including implementation of feedback mechanisms, among others. Finally, the third component is the productive inclusion services for the poor and vulnerable. This component seeks to complement the activities of CCT programs with support to investments in human capital that enhance income generating capacity. This component will institutionalize and scale up the productive and training activities for the poor and vulnerable population registered in the single registry.
