This component will provide assistance in the form of cash-for-work and support for the rehabilitation of small-scale economically productive infrastructure. Poor households will each be provided with a minimum of 28 days of paid work, benefitting approximately 774,000 poor rural households. This will provide sufficient wages to buy approximately four to six weeks of food. The Project will finance a menu of labor-intensive community subprojects. Target beneficiaries include those households identified as poor as part of the Project’s community re-mobilization processes, with able-bodied adult members in them willing to work for these subprojects, in around 6,450 rural communities spread across around 70 districts in 26 provinces in six regions. Component 1 will be facilitated by a select group of six Facilitating Partners (FPs) and implemented via Community Development Councils (CDCs). A total population of around 6.8 million is expected to benefit from the basic services through the improved small-scale infrastructure under this component.
