Summary:
The Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour, with support from the ADB, is implementing a food stamp project that intends to provide support to poor and vulnerable households and protect them from the risk of malnutrition. The food stamp programme uses an innovative approach to targeting and as such represents an opportunity to improve targeting mechanisms as well as strengthen systems, capacities, and strategies for effective social welfare service delivery.
This project is comprised of two main components:
1) Monitoring and evaluation of the food stamp programme, and impact analysis of other social welfare programmes; and
2) Food and nutrition surveillance and response mechanism.
Under the first component, the main objectives will be measuring and analysing impacts of food inflation and disasters, development of the monitoring and evaluation framework for the food stamp programme, evaluation of the targeting and impact of food stamps on extreme poverty and malnutrition; review of the targeting accuracy and impact of other social welfare benefits and their monitoring and evaluation systems. Under the second component, the key objectives will be the review of current emergency systems, including quick response mechanisms, and the development of new proposals and improvements.
