مرحباً بكم في الأمم المتحدة 
Novissi is a 100% digital social safety net intervention that provides financial support to hundreds of thousands of informal workers whose daily revenues has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and by complying with physical distancing measures (including a daily curfew) enforced in the country. Citizens register through a USSD shortcode on their mobile phones. Using a simple KYC process based on authentication via voter's ID, applicants who are deemed eligible then receive bi-monthly cash transfers from the state equivalent to 30%-35% of the minimum wage. Funds are paid directly into the beneficiaries' mobile money accounts. This programme ensures that the government can support the most vulnerable from falling into poverty in a swift, efficient way that also prevents physical contact. It enables people to be able to afford complying with physical distancing measures and to reduce movements to only the most essential.
