The development objectives of the Project are:

1. Provision of support for channeling non-insurance cash transfers to the eligible poor and disabled;
2. Increased efficiency and transparency of the entitlement administration;
3. Support to employment brokerage services for those who actively seek employment and who are due to lose their cash transfer entitlements, or for those in jeopardy (such as the poor, the disabled who are able to work, and the categories who have difficulties finding employment, veterans, etc.);

These objectives are to be achieved by providing support to political, technical and systemic reforms and investments in the areas of:

• targeting (strengthening the safety net design), Project component 1
• monitoring and supervision of entitlements administration, Project component 2
• employment brokerage services, Project component 3
• communication, Project component 4

The project aims to provide support to a comprehensive and integrated safety net, which will be:

• efficient,
• transparent and
• effective

in covering the poor and jeopardized groups. That means that the improved and targeted entitlements administration, introduced through the project, could roll out onto all entitlements, including those of the veterans.

The impacts of this project will include:

• development of better targeting instruments based on needs and transparency of eligibility decisions;
• better instruments for entitlements administration (development and introduction of functional registries, monitoring and control mechanisms);
• improved operation of employment brokerage services for targeted groups;
• assistance to responsible authorities in order to get support for the reform activities that are going to be implemented through the project.

The key indicators of the project outcome are:

1. Evidence of better targeting of entitlements for civil disabilities (non-war disabilities). (% of entitlements going to the poorest fifth higher after the implementation of the Indirect Property Census);
2. Evidence of shortened time for application processing (the average application processing duration for non-insurance transfers reduced from 7 to 2.5 months);
3. Evidence of greater transparency of entitlements and beneficiaries of non-insurance cash transfers (reports and information on entitlements, beneficiaries, duplications, frauds/errors and other relevant information published and available to public insight);
