Emergency Response and Nafa Program Support Project

The objectives of the Emergency Response and NAFA Program Support Project for Guinea are to: develop the building blocks of a national shock-responsive social protection system and increase access to shock-responsive safety nets for poor and vulnerable households. There are five components to the project, the first component being emergency cash transfers. Component one will support the emergency cash transfer program to help sustain the resilience of vulnerable households in rural and urban areas as they weather the health-related, social, and economic effects of Covid-19. This component includes two subcomponents: emergency cash transfers, and communications, sensitization, and accompanying measures. The second component is the support to cash transfers and accompanying measures under the Nafa Program. Component two will support the medium- and long-term vision of ANIES under the Nafa Program by financing ‘cash plus’ activities in selected areas as a tool for improving household resilience. The third component is the strengthening social protection institutions and shock-responsive delivery systems. This component will support ANIES in the development of shock-responsive social protection delivery instruments. The objective is to contribute to the establishment of a national, shock-responsive safety net system, anchored within ANIES. This system will allow ANIES to deliver poverty-targeted safety nets through its Nafa Program, and to respond quickly if necessary, to different types of covariate shocks, such as pandemics or natural disasters. The fourth component is the project management, monitoring and evaluation. This component will finance expenditures related to the procurement of goods, works, consultants, and services needed for the day to day management, implementation and monitoring of project-related activities. Finally, the fifth component is the contingent emergency response component.
