Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The objectives of the Social Safety Net Project are to support the establishment of building blocks for the social safety net system and to provide targeted cash transfers to poor and vulnerable households. The Additional Financing (AF) aims to scale up the existing project and strengthen the foundations it has established for the social protection system (through a national registry and a nationwide conditional cash transfer program that reaches all localities). It will also introduce adaptive elements in the social protection system to make poor households more resilient to shocks, including the design of procedures to scale up support in times of regular shocks and to promote greater resilience and productive capacity among the poorest, as well as the temporary expansion of transfer programs for households affected by shocks (temporary transfers), the preferential inclusion of poor households in existing resilience programs, the provision of activities to promote behavioral changes necessary to improve resilience, and the provision of one-off monetary transfers to promote the adoption of good productive practices among target households.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
