Description

The focus of the activities under this output will be on the development of the Options paper and the costed Programme Design document in support of the integrated, family package of social assistance in Cambodia. The development of the integrated package has been prioritized by the CRG as an important step in expanding the coverage and adequacy of the social assistance delivery across life cycle. Additionally, the focus will be on providing support to the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation in accelerating identification of persons with disability, and the revision of the existing disability allowance programme to expand its coverage to national scale and improve its effectiveness.

The coordination is to occur through the NSPC General Secretariat, MoSVY and through the bilateral collaboration.
