Resumen
Descripción
Social protection aims to provide a national platform for smoothly transitioning from a chaotic
collection of shock responses to an institutionalized system for risk and non-risk management. For the
poorest, the transition aims to move away from ad hoc, unpredictable relief to national safety nets that
deliver timely, multi-year, guaranteed and predictable transfers. Social protection has to face
particular challenges in chronically poor, shock-prone countries where the distinction between the
chronic and transitory poor is often blurred. Other conceptual and programmatic issues also need
further investigation. For filling these gaps, a research agenda articulated in ten thematic areas is
proposed.
