| Additional information: | I. BACKGROUND The Republic of Uzbekistan has received financing from the World Bank (WB) in the amount equivalent to US$102 million for the implementation of the project "Innovative Social Protection System for Inclusion of Vulnerable Populations in Uzbekistan" (INSON). This project will be co-financed by the Early Learning Partnership Multi-Donor Trust Fund (ELP MDTF). The National Agency for Social Protection under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan (NASP) is the Implementing Agency (IA) for the project implementation. The day-to-day management of the project implementation is entrusted to the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) established under the NASP. The project will be implemented in close cooperation with various government agencies, non-governmental organizations and Uzbekistan's international development partners. The project aims to improve access of vulnerable population to better quality social services and benefits. The project beneficiaries are: (a) beneficiaries of social services provided in the project-financed Territorial Social Service Centers (TSSCs) and other service providers regulated and licensed on the basis of legislation, procedures and standards developed under the project; (b) victims of gender-based violence; (c) victims of floods or heat waves exacerbated by climate change; (d) vulnerable individuals and families registered in the Unified Social Protection Platform (USPP), including those located in areas prone to climate change; and (e) victims of violence against women. The project includes the following components: Component 1: Strengthening the Integration and Shock Responsiveness of the Social Protection System. The objective of this component is to improve the inclusion and resilience of the poor and vulnerable people through INSON centers' improved capacity to assess needs, coordinate emergency support, and integrate the provision of social benefits and services. It will do so by supporting the introduction of (a) 'social work' for vulnerable people (LIFA applicants and generally INSON clients) and 'social case management services' for complex cases (older people, persons with disabilities, survivors of GBV) to best respond to multidimensional needs and (b) climate adaptation elements to increase the vulnerable people' resilience to climate shocks (flood, heatwaves, and drought) and mechanisms to make the social protection delivery system more responsive to other covariate shocks. Component 2: Improving the Access and Quality of Social Services for Vulnerable People. The objective of this component is to (a) improve the quality of social services38 for vulnerable children and adults by developing minimum quality and cost standards for social services, setting up a coordinated governance for multisectoral services for survivors of GBV, and transforming specialized VET schools for students with disabilities into resource hubs for inclusive education and (b) expand the access to social services for vulnerable people, including those who are vulnerable to climate change-exacerbated floods, drought, and extreme heat by piloting and gradually scaling up community-based TSSCs (now inexistent). Currently, the majority of social services in Uzbekistan are provided by public institutions. This component will contribute to set the legal, regulatory, and governance background for gradual subcontracting of social services to private providers (both for profit and non-for profit). Component 3: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation This component will support the day-to-day management of project implementation, the M&E of its objectives and outcomes, and the capacity of the NASP. Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) This component aims at providing rapid access to noncommitted resources of the project to support response to an eligible crisis or emergency, including natural disaster and climate change driven events, as needed. |
