The PIUis exploring options to diversify recipients’ choice of a mobile money operator starting with Cohort 5 of the national cash transfer program. The costs of the transfers have gone from 3% to 1% per transaction following market price adjustments resulting from the arrival of a new mobile money operator on the Ivorian market in 2021. On the establishment of the social register, progress has been made. A firm has recently been selected to develop the Management Information System of the RSU.
