WFP and UNICEF jointly implement the Responding to
COVID-19 through Social Protection Systems in the Sahel
project as support to the Governments of Mali, Mauritania
and Niger to respond to the immediate massive needs
generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and other shocks
through cash transfers and complementary services as well
as to strengthen overall national capacities to adapt and
build more shock-responsive, nutrition- and
child-sensitive social protection systems in the long
term. The joint project is financed by BMZ through KfW.
