The Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP) is a cornerstone initiative under Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework (2024–2035), designed to uplift poor and vulnerable households by enhancing human capital and building longterm resilience. Administered by the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) in coordination with key ministries and subnational administrations, the SAFP consolidates multiple targeted cash transfer schemes—including support for pregnant women, young children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, school children, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Following its official launch in April 2024, the SAFP has transitioned from emergency COVID-19 cash transfers to a more integrated and sustainable social protection model. A pivotal advancement is the development of the Cash Plus model for piloting, which links financial assistance with referrals to essential services such as disability inclusion and gender responsive healthcare, education and vocational training. The programme also aims to enhance household resilience to climate-related and other shocks. To effectively operationalize the Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP)—a complex, multi-sectoral programme under Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework—and to support the development and enhancement of related applications and systems, a National IT Specialist is essential. This specialist will assist the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) in designing and implementing robust digital solutions, including mobile applications for the Family Package Cash Plus referral and social services, shock responsive social assistance, as well as modules for monitoring, A key focus will be ensuring interoperability with other social protection platforms and other relevant social protection systems, such as monitoring and evaluation systems, TVET, the Disability Management Information System (DMIS), and other relevant databases.
