The World Bank Group is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity.

The Social Protection and Jobs (SPJ) Global Practice delivers analytical and operational approaches and evidence-based solutions to help individuals and families manage risk and cope with chronic/transitional poverty. It also undertakes work on labor, migration and remittances. These include:

• Strategy, analysis, financing and design of programs delivering social safety nets/social assistance in the form of cash transfers, public works programs, and fee waivers.
• Advisory and analytical services on design and delivery of contributory transfers (including old-age pensions, unemployment insurance, disability and survivor benefits), and their fiscal sustainability (including budget support for transitions).
• Analysis, design and delivery of labor market and youth employment programs (with a focus on supply side interventions, as well as policy advice on labor market regulations and interventions.
• Strategy, analysis, financing and design of integrated social protection delivery systems (e.g., payments, identification, registries, systems assessments) as underpinnings of effective social programs that can help cope with climatic shocks or underpin fiscal reforms.

The Social Protection and Jobs (SPJ) Global Practice has a large and growing portfolio in West and Central Africa, which includes long-standing engagements supporting Governments to strengthen their safety net programs as well as promoting innovations around jobs and, increasingly human capital investments. In the Sahel region, SPJ projects span engagements in safety nets, including for internally displaced people, refugees and host communities, service delivery for investments in human and productive capital, interventions in humanitarian and disaster-response, and youth skills and employment.

SPJ’s Sahel ASP Program (SASPP), which covers Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad, supports countries in strengthening their adaptive social protection (ASP) systems with enhanced support for households to become more resilient to shock, including those related to climate change and forced displacement. They include analytical and financing activities to support the development of shock-responsive safety nets that can address such shocks, as well as programs to support households increase their resilience to such shocks. Conceptually, the SASPP is organized around four key building blocks with multiple sub-components that provide a holistic view of the ASP ecosystem: institutional arrangements; data and information; finance; and programs and delivery systems.

The World Bank’s SPJ program in Chad is focused on building a strong adaptive social protection system, building on a small safety nets pilot project. The Bank’s Chad program currently includes its flagship PARCA project of some $140mn which will provide social protection programs to refugees and host communities in 7 provinces. The project will also provide emergency transfers for COVID-19 emergency response in several large urban centers.
