Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Strengthening the Adaptive and Scalable Safety Net System:(Cost $5.00 M) Cash Transfers and Accompanying Measures:(Cost $48.00 M) Cash for Work for Resilience:(Cost $18.50 M) Project Management:(Cost $8.50 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Adaptive Safety Nets Project 2 became effective on June 20th, 2019. The disbursement rate of the project is 4.3% and all the activities are ongoing as scheduled with the new wave of cash transfer starting in February 2020. The implementation of the behavior change accompanying measures as part of the cash transfer component is planned to start three months after the first cash payments, and the productive inclusion package, incorporating the lessons learned from the current impact evaluation, will be put in place in August 2020. Regarding the cash for work component, the first wave of activities which is implemented in pastoralist areas will start in December 2019. Social Registry: During the discussions on the implementation of the RSU, concerns were raised regarding the size of the harmonized questionnaire. To address these concerns, the Technical Committee set up by the government will lead the discussions with an aim of developing a 11/7/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger Adaptive Safety Net Project 2 (P166602) lighter consensual tool. Furthermore, the efforts to further strengthen of the capacities of the RSU team in order to facilitate its implementation are being continued. Shock response: With the support of the Bank team, an agreement was reached on the selection of pilot project intervention communes. Eight potential beneficiary communes were selected in the regions of Tahoua, Tillabéry and Zinder. In the case of shock, the project will extend its coverage to new randomly selected villages among the eligible villages of the selected communes and provide assistance to new beneficiaries in villages already receiving the cash transfer program. The allocation of beneficiaries per village will be proportional to their population and they will be receiving 15,000 FCFA / month for 12 months.
