Productive Social Safety Net Project II - Additional Financing - (P179701)
In Tanzania, under the Productive Social Safety Net Project II (P169165) and Additional financing (P179701), households living with persons with disabilities will receive an additional payment to compensate for the extra costs associated with having a disability. This marks the first type of safety net benefit for persons living with disability available at the national level. PSSN II will support the strengthening of oversight as well as monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to enhance data quality around disability so better information on persons living with disabilities, their needs and constraints are included in the program’s database. Through capturing such information in the program’s Unified Registry of Beneficiaries, the Government of URT will gradually be able to assess how the main socio-economic indicators (poverty, employment, education levels, etc.) vary between those living with a disability and those who do not, allowing more informed policy decisions.
