NASSCO
The National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO) serves as the central coordinating body for Nigeria's social protection initiatives, with a mandate to identify and support poor and vulnerable households through an integrated, harmonized, and well-managed national social safety net system. NASSCO is responsible for building and maintaining the National Social Register, coordinating across institutions and programs, facilitating the use of targeting and payment systems, and ensuring policy coherence and knowledge sharing across the sector. Under initiatives like the National Social Safety Nets Project-Scale Up (NASSP-SU), NASSCO has expanded access to millions of households through shock-responsive cash transfers, strengthened state and community-level targeting mechanisms, and improved monitoring and evaluation to ensure efficient service delivery. Its work includes training personnel, managing grievance redress systems, linking stakeholders, and publishing guidance and progress reports, all aimed at reducing poverty and improving the effectiveness and reach of Nigeria’s social safety net programs.

NTCO
The National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) was established to support Nigeria’s poorest households by improving nutrition, enhancing household consumption, and investing in human capital development. NCTO delivers cash transfers to various categories of vulnerable populations, with the dual aim of promoting immediate welfare and encouraging co-responsibilities that strengthen the capacities of poor and vulnerable households (PVHHs) to improve their standard of living. Its mandate is to provide targeted social transfers under an expanded National Social Safety Nets System, focusing on households identified as living below the basic needs poverty line through a community-based targeting mechanism.
