It has transferred some US$ 13 million for about 3.8 million total person days worked. Of the total beneficiaries, 72 percent are females (against the end target of 50 percent) and 30 percent of the beneficiaries in Juba are internally displaced persons (IDPs). Public works activities have resulted in the rehabilitation and maintenance of priority community assets such as roads, drainage channels, clearing of public spaces etc., and included innovation in group farming which has contributed to household food security. Basic operational tools such as a 1/4/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Safety Net and Skills Development (P143915) community based Grievance Redress Mechanism; Management Information System; GIS based biometric payment mechanism; and objective and transparent targeting mechanism have been developed. Local level coordination and oversight structures have established. The income from the public works transfers has helped beneficiaries access necessities such as food, clothes, and medicine, as well as pay for their children’s education. The financial literacy training provided by the implementing agency has helped beneficiaries to save, engage in small scale livelihood activities, and reinvest their earnings. WASH trainings have led to better sanitation and hygiene practices. Enhanced community assets, such as roads and clearing of drainage channels, have supported mobility and access to markets and social services and reduced crime and incidents of communicable diseases. Moreover, the public works has created an opportunity for beneficiaries to collaborate and work together which has fostered greater sense of unity and social cohesion. The closing date was extended by two months from Dec 31, 2018 to Feb 28, 2019 to allow for successful closure of key activities, including safeguards, fiduciary, monitoring.
