1. The Federal Government of Nigeria has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the National Social Safety Net Project (NASSP) and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract for the procurement of Office Equipment. The Government of Nigeria has prioritized social protection interventions as a key strategy towards reducing poverty and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the population.
In line with this, the government in partnership with the World Bank has designed the National Social Safety Net Project (NASSP); aimed at dedicating national resources to improve the lives of citizens and strengthen the role of social protection in helping to distribute resources more broadly. NASSP involves two components:
(i) establishing systems for social safety net that would serve as a robust platform for effectively targeting and delivering social assistance; and
(ii) implementing cash transfers to targeted poor and vulnerable households. The program has national coverage, with all states eligible to participate.
The systems developed for social safety net in Nigeria will be used across the country’s different safety net programs, irrespective of funding source or targeted beneficiary group. Different stakeholders, such as governments, development partners, or civil society, will be able to use the systems for delivering social assistance programs in Nigeria.
