Sudan Resilience Safety Nets Project (SRSNP)

dropped

The project aims to build resilience and promote equity through (i) unconditional cash transfers to extremely poor, labor-constrained households, (ii) opportunities for employment and asset creation through piloting conditional cash transfers for farmers, unemployed youth, and workable poor adults. Conditional and unconditional cash transfer programs are known for their impacts on reducing negative coping strategies, reducing poverty, improving nutrition, facilitating social inclusion, particularly among women and ensuring income security. The project will also reach pregnant mothers, children under 5, internally displaced people (IDPs), vulnerable households living on the outskirt of the cities, and people with disabilities from poor households. The project will target female family members as the primary recipients of the assistance. The number of beneficiaries will be determined during project preparation and appraisal. The project will target states and localities with the highest rate of poverty and vulnerability. Within the states and localities, geographic targeting will be used to select the poorest and most vulnerable communities. A systematic targeting approach (which will include a component of community-based targeting) will be defined as part of the project design
