The European Commission (EC) is accepting proposals to support Sustainable and Innovative Social Protection Programmes in Nigeria.
.
Lots
- Under Lot 1: The action will contribute to our Social Protection programme, helping it strengthens, expand, and digitalise the National Social Register (NSR) as an effective management information system with improved mechanisms, to make it a shock responsive system and a tool for policy planning towards poverty reduction and interoperable with other existing related databases.
- Under Lot 1, the goal is to advocate, campaign, build knowledge, create awareness and promote the activities linked to social protection system in specific states and at national level. This action will be implemented at the national level and selected states across the country in collaboration with the existing EU funded project on social protection system strengthening.
- Under Lot 2: The action intends to support government to strengthen the social protection systems and contribute to reducing poverty and building resilience among the poor and vulnerable households, with a particular focus on women and girls in communities affected by climate change. This entails, primarily, direct support to selected communities’ poor and vulnerable beneficiaries, as well as system strengthening and capacity building contributing as may be necessary to the design and implementation of the state Safety Net strategy at state level. The action may include the creation of state-level safety-net strategy if none exists
