4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions
The project is making some progress towards achieving its development objective of strengthening Senegal’s social
protection system. Project activities and cash transfer payments have however been delayed during the last six months
due to insufficient budgetary allocations. The socio-economic data collection for the update and extension of the Registre
National Unique (RNU) was completed in December 2024. Data was collected for 954,547 households, representing 93
percent of the pre-identified households. A mop-up data collection for the remaining 60,860 pre-identified households is
planned. This will result in a fully updated social registry with one of the largest coverages in the region. While all other
payments are delivered digitally, the Programme National de Bourses de Sécurité Familiale (PNBSF) payments are
currently still paid in cash via the post offices. However, a pilot is foreseen to gradually move towards the digitalization of
PNBSF payments, thereby strengthening the payment system. Due to recurring delays in payment of cash transfers,
additional focus will be placed on ensuring that beneficiaries of cash transfers receive their payments according to
schedule.
