According to bank documents, the project objective is to protect poor and vulnerable households' consumption in response to shocks in Zambia.
The Second Additional Financing will scale up Component 1: Social Cash Transfer. This will enable the SCT to scale up both vertically and horizontally with emergency cash assistance to address the on-going drought effects on poor and vulnerable households that are disproportionately impacted by climate-induced and other shocks. Efforts will also be given to strengthen institutional capacity and social protection delivery systems for more effective and accountable shock response, complemented by on-going Bank-funded social protection projects aimed at greater climate adaptation and resilience.
The prject objective, institutional and implementation arrangements, fiduciary, and environmental and social management will remain unchanged. However, a project restructuring will be undertaken to extend the closing date and update the results framework in line with the new activities proposed under the AF2.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF THE WORLD BANK
The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. Information on how to file a complaint and a complaint request form are available at: https://www.inspectionpanel.org/how-to-file-complaint
