Strengthening Quality of the Social Protection System

The development objective of the Strengthening Quality of the Social Protection System Program-for-Results Project for Seychelles is to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of social protection programs in the Seychelles. The program is structured around two result areas (RAs). The first RA will support improvements in the allocative efficiency of social protection spending, such as directing a higher percentage of spending toward those in need. The second RA supports the enhanced policy coordination across ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) and supports providing program beneficiaries with better quality of and increased access to services, especially among females, and ensuring timely delivery of social assistance support during emergencies. It aims to tackle a gender gap in access to economic opportunities. It will also support the effectiveness of the home care program (HCP) by improving the quality of home care services. It will support the shock absorption capacity of agency for social protection (ASP) program participants through timely delivery of social assistance emergency support.
