Mexico's Temporary Employment
Program or PET (Programa de Empleo Temporal) is an example
of a social safety net (SSN) program in a middle-income
country that has integrated disaster risk management and
climate change adaptation into its operations. PET is a
cash-for-work program providing temporary transfers in
exchange for labor in community projects to eligible
households in marginalized municipalities or whose
livelihoods have been affected by natural disasters or other
crises. Some of the PET's interesting features
include: a highly collaborative and formalized institutional
relationship that has been developed between social
protection, disaster management and sectoral agencies; the
creation of a quick and efficient disaster response
mechanism and contingency fund; the incorporation of
disaster and climate sensitive targeting criteria and into
sectoral public works programs; and a payment system that
recognizes the mobility constraints of some beneficiaries.
Mexico's PET is a social safety net program managed by
the Government of Mexico (GoM). It provides temporary
transfers in exchange for participation in public works
projects to households in communities that is highly
marginalized; suffer high unemployment levels, and/or whose
livelihoods have been affected by the impact of natural
disasters and other systemic crises. PET aims to reach the
poor with labor-intensive public work programs that build
infrastructure as well as environmental or sustainable
agricultural improvements.
