The intended outcomes for the intervention is to strenghten a comprehensive integrated and child-sensitive social protection system in Ethiopia. The project is expected to lead to an increased number of children covered by social protection and increased public social protection expenditure for children. While cash transfers will lead to an increased income for identified beneficiaries, the system approach will support a long-term impact for poverty reduction. The development of an effective social protection system is assessed as key to achieve sustainable reduction of child poverty. When beneficiaries and their children are linked to essential basic services according to their specific needs, this will lead to a general improvement of the lives of the most vulnerable who will be able to access basic services and targeted support. The government and supply-side will also benefit from the systems approach through development of a standardised MIS, Management Information System, that can systematically link identified beneficiaries of the programme to tailor-made services and through development of a solid social workforce that can ensure that identified beneficiaries can access adequate services and possibly also build sustainable livelihoods. Strengthening of a shock-responsive system of social protection that can respond early to emerging crises and increased vulnerability will contribute to strengthen resilience of people living in poverty. The development of a more shock-responsive social protection system is also expected to reduce the need for short-term humanitarian support.

Moreover, the inclusion of Social Workers in pilot woredas has given them the leverage to have a representation at the lower level structure of the local government - A cash working group co-led by BoWCSA and UNICEF established in the Amhara region to coordinate all humanitarian activities including harmonization and standardization. This system was fully owned by the Federal Ministry and is being replicated in other regions The following are some specific major outcomes/results achieved this year; - Following the adoption of ISNP and a dedicated output, MoWSA (previously MoLSA) is supporting roll out of service linkages as part of RPSNP-V and there is a continued advocacy for the social workforce fiscal space (and overall social workforce agenda) - UNICEF played a critical role in strengthening the Gender, Social Development and Nutrition (GSD-N), and Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) packages for RPSNP-V through incorporation of new messaging around early childhood development, gender based violence and harmful traditional practices. - Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) continues to expand and develop nationwide with increased number of clients enrolled. - UNICEF has supported in standardizing and systems strengthening in adapting the current social protection program to provide a shock responsive emergency cash transfer response (cash plus in some areas) to conflict affected groups, including IDPs. UNICEF also supported Amhara BoWCSA to establish a fully digital monitoring system through an open source software (KoboCollect) and now all post distribution monitoring is conducted through mobiles equipments. - UNICEF leveraged partnerships (ILO, WFP, World Bank, EU, public agencies) to ensure greater role for MoWSA across RPSNP-V and UPSNP, and through UNICEF's active engagement with RPSNP/UPSNP and humanitarian response work, approximately 6,68 million children were covered in 2021 through integration of more child and gender-sensitive approaches, strengthening the focus on early childhood nutrition, and linkages to social workers and services essential for engaging on issues relating to education, child marriage and gender-based violence.
