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.

According to bank documents, the project objective is to provide cash transfers and food support to food insecure households in selected areas of Sudan.

The project has two component:

  1. Component 1: Safety Net Transfers (US$76.4 million). This component will have two subcomponents providing: (i) unconditional cash transfer and (ii) unconditional food transfer. The component will also finance costs related to the payment of the cash transfers, and food delivery costs.

    1. Subcomponent 1.1. Unconditional Cash Transfers (US$72.6 million). This sub-component will finance unconditional cash transfers to the most vulnerable households facing food insecurity, to smoothen consumption needs.

    2. Subcomponent 1.2. Unconditional Food Transfers (US$3.8 million). This sub-component will finance unconditional food transfers to the most vulnerable households facing food insecurity to smoothen consumption. Food transfers will be provided in localities with poor functioning food markets.

  2. Component 2: Delivery Systems, Monitoring and Evaluation and Learning, and Project Management (US$23.6 million). This component will have three subcomponents providing: (i) delivery systems; (ii) monitoring, evaluation and learning; and (iii) project management.

    1. Sub-component 2.1: Delivery systems (US$10.2 million). This sub-component would finance costs associated with project delivering systems including outreach and communication, targeting, enrollment, payments, MIS, M&E and Grievance redress and social accountability.

    2. Sub-component 2.2: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (US$2.6 million). The M&E design of the project is based on the theory of change that links the components and activities to achieving the PDO. The sub-component will aim to: (a) inform the operational plan for project rollout, (b) improve efficiency and effectiveness of the project, and (c) undertake process evaluation and beneficiary satisfaction surveys to learn future lessons.

    3. Sub-component 2.3: Project Management (US$10.8 million). As a result of political uncertainty in Sudan, the project implementation will be based on third-party implementation principles. The component will finance the project management including staff costs, logistics, communication tools and equipment to ensure smooth running of the project by WFP.
