| Summary: | The Palestinian Authority (PA)-
administered Cash Transfer Program (CTP) is considered one
of the most advanced cash assistance programs in the Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) region. Using its sophisticated
management information system (MIS), which includes a
poverty-targeting database, it provides timely quarterly
payments to beneficiary households using a uniform payment
modality. The CTP was established, with support from the PA,
after a merger between the World Bank-funded Social Safety
Net Reform Project (SSNRP) and the European Union
(EU)-funded Special Hardship Case (SHC) program in 2010.
Since the CTP provided its first payment to households in
the Palestinian Territories (PT) that year, the number of
beneficiary households has increased by almost 59 percentage
reaching almost 100,000 households. |
