"Henniya mint Teyib is one of more than 200,000 poor households registered in
the Social Registry database benefiting from the Tekavoul National Social
Transfer Program, one of several adaptive and transformative social protection
programs implemented by the Mauritanian government and supported by the
International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's fund for
low-income countries.
Every quarter, she receives a cash transfer from the Mauritanian government: “I
use part of it to buy hygiene products, school supplies, and food for the
children. I had a small stall at home that I was able to expand with some of
the transfers from Tekavoul, and I was able to save until I bought an ewe that
has already given birth to two lambs.”
With nearly 30% of the population living below the poverty line, Mauritania is
now committed to promoting social protection as a solution to the socioeconomic
challenges facing the country.
In 2015, the Government launched the Social Safety Net System Support Project
(PASyFiS 1) as part of the implementation of its National Social Protection
Strategy (SNPS), which lays the foundation for an innovative approach
introducing a more inclusive and sustainable social protection model.
In addition, the Elmaouna shock-responsive safety net program, implemented in
several regions of the country in 2017, illustrated the convergence between
humanitarian and development approaches."
