Abstract: The Eastern Recovery Project (STEP) has offered the primary platform for delivering socialsafety net (SSN) support in response to different shocks and overlapping crises in the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC). STEP has been operating successfully since its launch in 2014, evolving and adapting from a project designed tosupport post-conflict stabilization and recovery in Eastern DRC to a comprehensive shock-responsive SSN system aimed atbuilding resilience and protecting human capital against the full spectrum of fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV)nationwide. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of STEP’s evolution by identifying and discussing keyoperational adaptations to (i) project design, (ii) deliverychain, (iii) monitoring, implementation, and partnership, and (iv) World Bank’s supervision. Drawing lessons learnedfrom the analysis, the paper suggests operational options to adapt current and future social protection engagements inFCV.
