Strengthening the livelihoods of vulnerable households through social safety nets
Description
By 2030, the Government of Niger, with the support of technical and financial partners, is committed to strengthening the livelihoods of the most vulnerable households through nutrition-sensitive social safety nets. This objective will be achieved by carrying out actions to protect and rehabilitate livelihoods through cash transfers and accompanying measures in the context of the prevention of chronic malnutrition, by providing financial support to vulnerable groups to carry out income-generating activities, food assistance through general distributions and sales at moderate prices, food assistance through targeted food distributions to pregnant and breastfeeding women and children aged 6-23 months, with actions to screen for acute malnutrition, community mobilization and awareness-raising, keeping children in school through a healthy and diversified diet, implementing anticipatory actions in the face of crisis risks and operationalizing the unified social register of beneficiaries. Progress will be monitored annually through the evaluation reports
