Project Detail:This PforR operation supports investments that protect poor and vulnerable households from the impacts of shocks. Transformative change in protecting poor and vulnerable households from shocks requires a concerted effort on multiple fronts, centered on the provision of resources and information to citizens, reforming the institutional structures and incentives for local government service providers. The main problem holding Odisha back in improving the speed, adequacy and coverage of risk-protection measures is not the intent, rather the implementation. The government has requested to partner with the WBG through the proposed Operation to address the fragmented mandates and limited institutional coordination across agencies, limited presence and use of front-line cadres and insufficiently integrated delivery chains. Coverage amongst the most vulnerable tribal and scheduled caste communities remains low due to cumbersome application and eligibility determination processes. Ad-hoc and siloed programs are not scaling adequately for impacts. In this context, the proposed Operation aims to build institutional platforms and integrated delivery systems which leverage technology-based solutions to streamline and improve targeting and benefit delivery processes, while simultaneously promoting deeper coordination across interventions. These systems strengthening efforts shall result in more robust social protection coverage, particularly for disaster prone communities.
Total Project Cost: USD 145.26
