The project has made great progress and is overall rated as satisfactory. The Social Fund for Development (FID) is implementing the Productive Safety Net and the Human Development Cash Transfer programs which combined now reach more 180,000 extremely poor households. Complementary services and linkages have been established, such as promotion of nutrition, health, early learning and parenting. In addition, the safety net programs are promoting productive activities at the household and community levels. Other services such as vaccination, family planning and livelihood development are being provided by other programs to which the safety net programs have established linkages. 12/2/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Social Safety Net Project (P149323) The FIAVOTA emergency drought response program in the South of Madagascar, implemented since 2016 in collaboration with the National Nutrition Program, financed under the AF#1 for the Drought Response in the South (the FIAVOTA program), provides cash transfers, nutrition services and livelihood recovery grants to drought affected households. The FIAVOTA project covers about 80% of the population living in the targeted municipalities, by stabilizing the income of 65,000 drought-affected households while providing accompanying measures related to education, nutrition, essential family practices, financial inclusion, and production means recovery. Under AF#2, there is a commitment to continued safety net engagement in the South and correspondinglythe program is transitioning to the Human Development Cash Transfer model and will work to ensure continued strong coordination with the National Nutrition Office programs.. With the support of the World Bank, UNICEF and the World Food Programme (WFP), the Ministry of Population, Social Protection and Women's Promotion (MPSPPW), the process of coordination and harmonization of responses to crises is progressing well. The Beloha pilot to address severe food insecurity– funded by the World Bank and WFP with the collaboration of UNICEF – was successfully delivered, and its lessons contribute to social protection system adaptive to shocks in Madagascar through the collaboration between social protection and humanitarian actors. Key elements of this system are part of a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (CAT DDO) under development and supported by the Project. Key staff in the MPSPPW and the FID have recently been appointed, and activities under Component 3 of the project have picked up speed. The Ministry and Bank teams are working together to advance key elements of establishing a social protection system, such as a beneficiary household registry and a Monitoring and Evaluation system for the sector. Options for financial sustainability and resource mobilization for the social protection system are also considered. Key elements of national budget management for this system are part of a Development Policy operation for human capital, under development and supported by the Project. The second Additional Financing for the project for US$90 million, approved by the Board on 1 March 2019, became effective 24 June 2019. The AF#2 will consolidate project impacts and further deepen the policy and programmatic approach of social protection in the country, updated payment mechanisms and security arrangements, and includes contingency funding in case of emergencies such as drought and cyclones. Expansion to additional beneficiary zones is underway.
