Foundations of Social Protection for Targeted and Effective Poverty Reduction (FOSTER)

About this project

Zimbabwe’s social protection system is characterised by low coverage, poor targeting, weak coordination and high fragmentation, making it inadequate to assist the growing number of poor and vulnerable people. These contributions to the World Bank and UNICEF, two expert organisations on social protection, aim to strengthen the foundational architecture to improve, expand and manage access to social assistance, livelihood support, and resilience services for vulnerable groups.
