KEY ISSUES & STATUS Sep 12, 2024 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Social Protection Enhancement Project (P160674) 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Social Registry (SR) and Case Management System (CMS) components continue to make progress, albeit the challenging context. The SR is operational and includes 135,000 households, with significant ongoing efforts to enhance its functionality and integration with other ministries. The CMS has also seen partial progress but is still facing delays. The ongoing conflict underpins much of this delay with staffing resources being diverted to address the urgent needs of the people impacted by the conflict. The project development objective and implementation progress remain satisfactory and moderately satisfactory. 5.
