KEY ISSUES & STATUS Nov 20, 2024 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Shock Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (P171346) 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Somalia Shock Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP) provides poor and vulnerable households with predictable nutrition-linked cash transfers to meet their immediate consumption gaps and protect against food insecurity and malnutrition risks. With a view toward longer-term development, it also supports efforts by the Federal Government of Somalia to strengthen institutional resilience and establish the basic delivery mechanisms of a national social safety net (Baxnaano) systems. The project supports the Government's national social protection platform - Baxnaano - which delivers predictable assistance and promotes the utilization of human development services. Progress on SNHCP is commendable: As of April 30, 2024, 200,000 households (100 percent of the target) are registered for regular unconditional cash transfers, with 199,913 (99 percent) being cleared for enrollment. Out of those 196,792 (98 percent) received payments in quarter 12 (October to December 2023) and 194,106 (97 percent) were processed for payments in quarter 13 (January to March 2024). Under the vertical expansion, 182,254 households (99 percent of the target) and, under the horizontal expansion, 154,419 households (99 percent of the target) received successful emergency cash transfers as of April 30, 2024. In addition to cash transfer delivery, good progress has been made in developing the Baxnaano delivery systems and in capacity building activities, including in preparation of the urban expansion and the National Socio-Economic Survey. 5.
