Project Development Objective (from Project Appraisal Document)

The objective of the Project is to strengthen the BF Program's ability to achieve its objective of reducing poverty and inequality and promoting human capital development by improving schooling and health status of children and reducing incidence of malnutrition among the poor population.

The proposed operation would achieve this objective by supporting: (a) the strengthening of the program's overall governance through enhanced basic program management functions and accountability, oversight and control functions, in three axes: the registry of beneficiaries (Cadastro Unico), management of benefits, and monitoring of conditionalities; (b) the consolidation of the program?s monitoring and evaluation system; and © the strengthening of linkages between Bolsa Familia beneficiaries with complementary actions beyond the program to promote graduation from poverty; these activities would be carried out through the National Commitment for Social Development strategy in the MDS.
