Overview

The document is the Stakeholder Engagement Plan for the National Social Safety Net Program – Scale Up (NASSP-SU) in Nigeria, with project ID P176935, dated October 1, 2021. It outlines the plan's purpose, stakeholder identification, engagement activities, resources, grievance mechanism, and monitoring. The NASSP-SU is a World Bank-supported project aimed at reducing extreme poverty by expanding the national social safety net system, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original NASSP project (P151488) began in 2016 and faced challenges during COVID-19, leading to a scale-up (NASSP-SU) that expands coverage both horizontally (geographic) and vertically (including urban poor and those at risk). The plan details previous stakeholder engagement, stakeholder identification and analysis, a comprehensive engagement program, responsibilities, a grievance mechanism, and monitoring and reporting procedures. The document emphasizes shock-responsive social protection and protecting livelihoods of chronically poor and shock-affected populations.
