ADAPTIVE SOCIAL SAFETY NETS AND ECONOMIC INCLUSION PROJECT
NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST No. 003/ASMI/MINEPAT/CTS/PFS-AIE/UGP/2025 OF MAY 16, 2024 FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF TWENTY-THREE (23) FIELD OPERATORS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CYCLE 8 OF ORDINARY CASH TRANSFERS AND FIFTEEN (15) FIELD OPERATORS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PHASE 7 OF EMERGENCY CASH TRANSFERS OF THE ADAPTIVE SOCIAL SAFETY NETS AND ECONOMIC INCLUSION PROJECT Financing: IDA Credit No. 70480-CM
1.Context
In its National Development Strategy 2020-2030 (NDS30) for structural transformation and inclusive development, the Government committed to consolidating the achievements of social protection and expanding its scope to the greatest number of Cameroonians, by gradually integrating all social categories hitherto on the margins of the system, through the reduction of social inequalities, measures to protect against all forms of vulnerability, social cohesion and inclusion. To achieve these objectives, it has structured its interventions around: (i) social security, (ii) social transfers and (iii) social action.
In this context, the Government continued the implementation of the Social Safety Net Project (PFS) until December 2022. The PFS is one of the flagship instruments of social assistance in Cameroon because social safety nets provide targeted cash transfers to the poorest households. Launched in 2013 with 2,000 beneficiary households, the PFS reached 375,500 households in 2022, or approximately 2,000,000 individuals. An evaluation of the project showed the far-reaching positive impacts of cash transfers on beneficiaries and in the community. Social safety nets have positive short-term effects and a positive medium-term impact on beneficiaries, enabling the government to achieve its poverty reduction objective.
To ensure the sustainability of the activities of such a Project, the Government has set up, with the support of the World Bank, a new Project (the Adaptive Social Safety Nets and Economic Inclusion Project (PFS-AIE)) which aims to extend the coverage and capacity of the response to shocks of the social safety net system to the most vulnerable households, on the one hand, and to increase access to opportunities to generate income and support entrepreneurship among young people in urban areas aged 18 to 35, on the other hand.
The PFS-AIE will thus: (i) continue support for poor households as has been done in the three PFS programs, in all regions of the country, (ii) provide support to young workers aged 18 to 35, in the informal sector who are “subsistence entrepreneurs” who work in urban areas for their own account, due to a lack of other opportunities or skills, (iii) provide support to young entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 with promising business projects in targeted productive sectors that are priorities for the government, (iv) provide support for the development of the Unified Social Registry of Cameroon (RESUC) with a view to operationalizing a social information system supporting the processes of identification, registration and assessment of the needs and conditions of the poor and vulnerable population and (v) promote the electronic payment of cash transfers to PFS-AIE beneficiaries. The PFS-AIE comprises 5 components, namely: (i) Component 1 “Adaptive Safety Nets Project”, (ii) Component 2 “Youth Economic Inclusion and Entrepreneurship”, (iii) Component 3 “Shock-Responsive Digital Delivery Systems”, (iv) Component 4 “Project Management and Coordination Support” and (v) Component 5 “Emergency Response Component (CERC)”. Component 1 aims to provide income support to households to enable them to: (i) improve their consumption, (ii) strengthen the development of their human capital, (iii) encourage them to invest in productive activities and (iv) increase their resilience against conflict- and climate-related shocks. It will thus continue to support poor households as it was done in the three PFS programs based on the experience of this Project which has been implemented since 2013. It includes three sub-components: (i) Sub-component 1.1 “Ordinary Cash Transfers (TMO)”, (ii) Sub-component 1.2 “Emergency Cash Transfers (TMU)” and (iii) Sub-component 1.3 “Labor-Intensive Works Program (THIMO)”. The TMO Sub-component aims to support the expansion of TMO to households living in chronic poverty to enable them to increase their productivity. It is equipped with accompanying measures. Each beneficiary household receives a total amount of 360,000 CFA francs in cash transfers for 24 months, consisting of 20,000 CFA francs every two months and 80,000 CFA francs in the 12th and 24th months. The program will be implemented over several cycles.
The TMU Sub-component aims to support the expansion of TMUs to households living in chronic poverty in order to enable them to cope with problems linked to certain shocks such as insecurity, floods, drought, the massive influx of displaced persons and refugees. Each beneficiary household receives a total amount of 180,000 FCFA in cash transfers for 12 months, at a rate of 30,000 FCFA every two months. It will be implemented through several phases. To ensure efficient implementation of the activities of these two Sub-components on the ground, the Project will rely on Field Operators who will intervene in specific areas. These terms of reference aim to guide and direct the recruitment of Field Operators for Cycle 8 of TMOs and Phase 7 of TMUs with IDA financing. AREAS OF INTERVENTION, MISSIONS AND PROFILE OF THE FIELD OPERATOR Areas of intervention Each Field Operator will work in a beneficiary municipality and their area of intervention is made up of all the beneficiary villages in the municipality. For Cycle 8 of the TMOs and Phase 7 of the TMUs with IDA financing, the selected municipalities are as follows and the field operators are distributed as follows: Table 1: Distribution of Field Operators for Cycle C8 of the TMOs with IDA financing Departments Beneficiary Municipalities Field Operators Adamaoua Djerem Ngaoundal 1,000 1 Far North Mayo-Kani Dziguilao 1,000 1 East Haut Nyong Abong Mbang 1,000 1 North Bénoué Demsa 1,000 1 North West Boyo Belo 1,000 1 Boyo Fundong 1,000 1 Donga-Mantung Ndu 1,000 1 Menchum Benakuma 1,000 1 Momo Batibo 1,000 1 Ngo-Ketunjia Balikumbat 1,000 1 South Ocean Lorlodorf 1,000 1 Ocean Niété 1,000 1 Ntem Ambam Valley 500 1 South-West Fako Muyukahttps://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=1&gdpr_consent=CQNvpkAQNvpkAEsACBENBfFoAP_gAEPgAARgINJD7C7FbSFCwH5zaLsAMAhHRsAAQoQAAASBAmABQAKQIAQCgkAYFASgBAACAAAAICRBIQIECAAAAUAAQAAAAAAEAAAAAAAIIAAAgAEAAAAIAAACAIAAEAAIAAAAEAAAmAgAAIIACAAAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQNVSD2F2K2kKFkPCmwXYAYBCujYAAhQgAAAkCBMACgAUgQAgFJIAgCIFAAAAAAAAAQEiCQAAQABAAAIACgAAAAAAIAAAAAAAQQAABAAIAAAAAAAAEAQAAIAAQAAAAIAABEhAAAQQAEAAAAAAAQAAA&addtl_consent=2~70.89.93.108.122.149.184.196.236.259.311.313.323.358.415.442.486.494.495.540.574.609.864.981.1029.1048.1051.1095.1097.1126.1205.1276.1301.1365.1415.1449.1514.1570.1577.1598.1651.1716.1735.1753.1765.1870.1878.1889.1958.1960.2072.2253.2299.2373.2415.2506.2526.2531.2568.2571.2575.2624.2677.2778~dv.&client=ca-pub-8127528471213975&output=html&h=250&adk=3535737231&adf=3643323646&pi=t.aa~a.2384965467~i.25~rp.1&w=307&abgtt=13&fwrn=7&fwrnh=100&lmt=1748953747&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=1921297977&ad_type=text_image&format=307×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcameroun.minajobs.net%2Femplois-stage-recrutement%2F34600%2F&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=256&rw=307&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOS4wLjAiLCIiLCJTTS1HOTU1RiIsIjEzNi4wLjcxMDMuMTI1IixudWxsLDEsbnVsbCwiIixbWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEzNi4wLjcxMDMuMTI1Il0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTM2LjAuNzEwMy4xMjUiXSxbIk5vdC5BL0JyYW5kIiwiOTkuMC4wLjAiXV0sMF0.&dt=1748953729987&bpp=23&bdt=3204&idt=23&shv=r20250602&mjsv=m202505290101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D08c2e045c8d07672%3AT%3D1743528619%3ART%3D1748953724%3AS%3DALNI_MYqzXOZyvS0KSCBPNHyr6hMPLqYaQ&gpic=UID%3D000010786437c2d9%3AT%3D1743528619%3ART%3D1748953724%3AS%3DALNI_MaOiJ8YzY1SmiEvPAXGbL2U6rKSpQ&eo_id_str=ID%3D402b63197984bd88%3AT%3D1737994449%3ART%3D1748953724%3AS%3DAA-AfjY5rRHuua3jWc3kesZOW9op&prev_fmts=337×280%2C0x0%2C307x250%2C307x250%2C411x717&nras=5&correlator=240287241222&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=180&u_his=1&u_h=846&u_w=412&u_ah=846&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_sd=2.625&dmc=4&adx=52&ady=5698&biw=411&bih=717&scr_x=0&scr_y=541&eid=31092114%2C95353387%2C95361619%2C95362171%2C95340252%2C95340254&oid=2&psts=AOrYGskgTVVnKtSJ3tVEpBJHf2gEii_XISEjExrZoIUEZGB20HZvymqZ5ySTqCE6Ny61h9jNfZi4-nNkUEViCanYXJbSx9M%2CAOrYGsloGAQzEHo_W060lwKfgQNj61I2ntBcqMklibzXXOuy5lSw6g53FO5JPbfnvYW892AjL2cgYfKQelriFOs63j6qcA8%2CAOrYGslPtUF0Hz6V5lspg-btv5-5lAKVKKVQAuTAyPmsqI3FkAAyL6Sor6rx8GKtRKoON1t3gTGrczRoiNf3GiR9n6MuFXQ&pvsid=6911648987452747&tmod=811522564&uas=0&nvt=1&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C774%2C411%2C773&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&tdf=2&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&nt=1&ifi=7&uci=a!7&btvi=3&fsb=1&dtd=17586
