Comoros

In 2015, a social assistance programme named the Argent Contre Travail (ACT) was introduced in 2015. The programme is a cash for work transfer that targets the poor working-age population with a daily payment of US$4.97. The ATC was put in place to promote employment and develop participants’ skills as part of the working day. The programme is executed by the government of Comoros with the assistance of an international partner. As of 2016, Comoros spent 0.67 percent of GDP on social assistance, translating to US$28.69 per poor person per year.
