Resumen
Descripción
This assessment originated from the
dialogue on reforming the Cash Transfer Program (CTP)
managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA) to increase
monetary support for people with disabilities (PWD).
According to the beneficiaries, the current benefit payment
is not sufficient to address the special needs of a
household with a member with disability. In response to the
demand of the beneficiaries, the MOSA considered additional
compensation for vulnerable households including PWD; an
analysis was conducted to weight the costs and benefits of
modifying the targeting formula to accommodate additional
compensation for PWD. The results did not support increasing
the monetary compensation because the costs of adjustment
were expected to outweigh the benefits and do so at the
expense of larger number of poor beneficiaries. Furthermore,
global evidence suggests that cash transfers are not
necessarily the sole or right instrument to address the
needs of PWD in an adequate manner. Rather, meeting the
needs requires a holistic approach with greater focus on
providing services complemented by temporary cash benefits.
Also, compensating only by cash is not sustainable.
