The Government response has focused on measures to address the immediate needs of the affected populations, while building the analytical base for developing a national social protection policy. This report forms part of the overall analytical work prepared to support the formation of a national social protection policy. It finds that the most common safety net programs are in-kind transfers with limited coverage. It proposes basic elements for the Government to take into consideration in developing a national social protection policy and strategy and identifies next steps in finalizing the preparation of such a policy and strategy.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ACCESS TO SERVICESADVERSE SHOCKSAGEDAGGREGATE DEMANDASSISTANCE IN KINDASSISTANCE PROGRAMSAT-RISK POPULATIONSBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARYBENEFIT LEVELSCASH PAYMENTSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCATASTROPHIC LOSSESCHILD LABORCHILD MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC POORCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONFLICTCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONSCOUNSELORSCOVARIATE SHOCKSCROP INSURANCEDISABILITY INSURANCEDISASTER MANAGEMENTDONOR FUNDINGDROUGHTECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DOWNTURNECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMIC RECESSIONECONOMIC SHOCKELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIESEMERGENCY ASSISTANCEEMERGENCY FOODEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILIESFEE WAIVERSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL RISKFOOD AIDFOOD ASSISTANCEFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD PROGRAMFOOD SECURITYFOOD SHORTAGESFOOD SUBSIDIESFOOD TRANSFERSFREE HEALTHHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLD RISKHOUSEHOLD RISK FACTORSHOUSEHOLD WELL-BEINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHYGIENEIDIOSYNCRATIC RISKSIDIOSYNCRATIC SHOCKSIMMUNODEFICIENCYINCOMEINCOME INEQUALITYINDIVIDUAL RISKSINEQUALITYINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL SUPPORTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCE MECHANISMSINSURANCE PRODUCTSINSURANCE PROGRAMINSURANCE SCHEMESINTERVENTIONISOLATIONJOB TRAININGKEY RISKSLABOR MARKET INTERVENTIONSLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLABOR STANDARDSLAWSLEGAL ASSISTANCELIFE EVENTSLIFE INSURANCELIMITED ACCESSLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL INFRASTRUCTURELOSS OF INCOMEMACROECONOMIC SHOCKSMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMANAGING RISKMANAGING RISKSMEDICAL CAREMICRO-INSURANCEMIGRATIONMORTALITYMUTUAL HEALTHNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTSNUTRITIONAL SUPPORTOLD AGEOLD AGE PENSIONSPATIENTSPENSIONPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPOORPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPREVENTIVE SERVICESPRICE SUBSIDIESPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSRISK FACTORSRISK MITIGATIONRISK-POOLINGRURAL POPULATIONSAFETY NET INTERVENTIONSSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL ENROLLMENT RATESSCHOOL FEE WAIVERSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL LUNCHESSCHOOL MEALSSCREENINGSELECTION CRITERIASERVICE DELIVERYSIBLINGSSMOOTH CONSUMPTIONSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL FUNDSOCIAL FUNDSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL INSURANCE SYSTEMSOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL PROTECTION INSTRUMENTSSOCIAL PROTECTION INTERVENTIONSSOCIAL PROTECTION POLICIESSOCIAL PROTECTION POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTION PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTION STRATEGIESSOCIAL PROTECTION STRATEGYSOCIAL RISKSOCIAL RISKSSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SPENDINGSOCIAL TRANSFERSOCIAL WORKERSSSNSTREET CHILDRENTARGETED SOCIAL ASSISTANCETARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTTEMPORARY SUPPORTTRANSFER MECHANISMTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER RECIPIENTSTRANSFERS OF FOODTRANSITORY POORUNEMPLOYMENTVICTIMSVIOLENCEVULNERABILITY PROFILEVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEVULNERABLE POPULATIONSVULNERABLE REGIONSWAGE-EARNERSWELFARE INDICATORSWORKING CONDITIONSWORKPLACEWORKS PROGRAM
