QUESTION

n accordance with the Egyptian government's agenda for economic reforms that started in 2022, the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS) implemented the Takaful and Karama program with support from the World Bank. The program aims to enhance social protection and alleviate poverty for the poorest and marginalized citizens through conditional and non-conditional cash transfers. In order to maintain a sense of public oversight and local accountability necessary for program improvement, MoSS launched voluntary community-based monitoring committees. The committees were formed with the aim of engaging local communities in ensuring the transparency of efficient resource management, monitoring the quality of services and accountability of groups that violate the rules of social justice. Currently, there are around 2600 committees formed in different areas that were able to uncover the unreported sources of income of beneficiaries and alter the behavior of some community members which was a success for the ministry. Therefore, it has become a priority for the ministry to improve the work of the committees and resolve their inefficiencies. The work of the committees has not been an easy ride. Committee members are faced with a number of challenges, a main reason for which is poor community engagement and acceptance. Communication is weak between the program and community members, so many of them do not understand the program, its target beneficiaries, or eligibility and selection criteria. Because of this poor communication and exclusion of those who do not fulfill the criteria, tension and distrust are on the rise between committee members and program beneficiaries. Such tension gets violent sometimes when beneficiaries get excluded for no longer fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Thus, they physically attack committee members for reporting them or unjustly excluding them from the program. This in turn negatively affects the program as it hinders the processes of data gathering for reviewing the applications of beneficiaries
