According to bank's website, the approved project aims to increase access to economic opportunities for poor and vulnerable households and to strengthen the adaptive social protection system. Component 1. Empowerment Support (Allocation: US$ 76.5 million). This component aims to increase access to social protection programs for poor and vulnerable households This component supports the operationalization of the priority components of the PAMPV, specifically, economic inclusion (subcomponent 1.1) and accompanying measures related to human capital, social cohesion and climate resilience (subcomponent 1.2). • Component 2. Strengthening adaptive social protection system (Indicative allocation: US$10.1 million). This component aims to make the country’s social protection systems more inclusive, efficient, and shock-responsive. The component will focus on the national roll out of the social registry (RSU) (subcomponent 2.1) and the interoperability for social protection delivery systems (subcomponent 2.2).• Component 3. Capacity building and capitalization (Indicative allocation: US$27.4 million). This component aims to reinforce the government’s institutional and logistical capacity to manage food security and humanitarian crisis and implement the national social protection strategy and its flagship program (PAMPV). Component 3 will focus on enhancing logistical capacity (subcomponent 3.1), strengthening intersectoral coordination (subcomponent 3.2) and monitoring, evaluation and learning process (subcomponent 3.3).• Component 4.

This component will support project management, including supervision, M&E, fiduciary functions, the development of the management information systems, call center and grievance redress system, and strategic communication. • Component 5. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC). A zero-dollar CERC will only be activated and funded in case of any eligible crisis in the country. A CERC manual will be annexed to the Project Operations Manual (POM) and can be later updated to better address specific types of shocks.A new PIU should be established for the implementation of the project, as the formal PIU for the previous Safety Nets Project is no longer in place.

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.
