Abstract
A growing body of evidence demonstrates
 that individuals and households experience a range of
 positive outcomes from social protection. Social protection
 increases productivity and growth. Countries can realize
 significant benefits by creating an integrated social
 protection system. Social protection is affordable in
 low-income countries despite tight budgets. While overall
 spending on social protection in Africa remains low by
 international standards, experience suggests that social
 protection programs can achieve national coverage at the
 cost of only 1 to 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
 While this is only a portion of the financing required to
 operate a social protection system, it draws attention to
 what countries can achieve in the short-term. Indeed, one
 way in which existing social protection spending can be made
 significantly more efficient would be by reallocating
 existing financing for inefficient subsidies and ad hoc
 emergency food aid to predictable safety nets. At the same
 time, pursuing reforms to social security systems will
 ensure their fiscal sustainability, while expanding
 coverage. Notably, the costs of not protecting poor families
 are very high, are borne disproportionately by women and
 children, and undermine the productivity of future
 generations. The Strategy will be implemented by leveraging
 partnerships, knowledge, and the World Bank's financing
 instruments. The World Bank will continue to invest in
 analytical work to fill knowledge gaps and promote an
 evidence-based dialogue for social protection systems in
 Africa and further innovation. It will work with governments
 to build country-owned national social protection systems
 with the aim of reducing fragmentation in the sector. The
 Bank also will pay particular attention to institutional
 development and capacity building by using its lending to
 increase the coverage of successful social protection
 interventions. Throughout this work, the Bank will work in
 coordination with governments, development partners, the
 private sector, academics, civil society, and beneficiaries.

    Vietnam : Strengthening the Social Safety Net to Address New Poverty and Vulnerability Challenges

    World Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-03-15)
    As it transitions to Middle-Income Country (MIC) status, Vietnam is considering whether its social protection system is adequate to meet rapidly changing needs associated with strong economic growth, integration of its economy in regional and global markets, industrialization, urbanization and other economic and societal shifts. Vietnam's social safety net - programs with the following objectives: 1) alleviation of chronic poverty; 2) help to the poor in coping with the worst forms of shocks and transient poverty; and 3) promotion of human development for long-term poverty alleviation. This note aims to assess the system of social safety net programs currently in place in Vietnam and to gauge how well it covers the poor and vulnerable populations. This note highlights two messages: first, it identifies gaps in the current poverty reduction and social protection system - programs that help address urban vulnerability and poverty and that help the poor and vulnerable manage shocks - which could be closed through strengthened and more effective household-targeted social safety net programs. Second, in examining the existing core social safety net programs the note finds that, while targeting is respectable, their primary weakness lies in limited coverage. Based on these findings, this note strengthens household-targeted social safety net interventions in Vietnam as a complement to geographically-targeted poverty reduction programs and social insurance.

    Social Protection in Pakistan : Managing Household Risks and Vulnerability

    World Bank (Washington, DC, 2012-06-11)
    The report is the result of an
 inter-institutional collaborative effort between the
 Government of Pakistan, civil society, and international
 donors. This report finds that while Pakistan implements a
 wide array of social protection programs, the effectiveness
 of these programs could be significantly improved. The
 report finds that social protection programs in Pakistan
 face important constraints in terms of coverage, targeting,
 and implementation, and inability to respond to
 vulnerability, which will need to be overcome in order that
 they can more effectively protect the poor. The report
 suggests a two-pronged approach for social protection
 reform: (i) improving the ability of safety net programs to
 reach the poor, promote exit from poverty, and respond to
 natural disasters; coupled with (ii) a longer term approach
 for strengthening social security. Considering social
 protection as a system rather than a collection of different
 programs would allow the government to curtail
 fragmentation, improve the quality of social protection
 spending, and have higher impact. Given fiscal constraints,
 the report suggests that coverage expansion first exploits
 the opportunity for efficiency improvements in current
 programs, through better targeting and reduction in
 duplication and overlap. However, the decline in real
 spending on the two main safety net programs is worrisome.
 It is therefore welcome that the government is considering
 how best to ensure adequate yet fiscally affordable spending
 on safety nets as part of its draft social protection strategy.

    Social Protection in Low Income Countries and Fragile Situations : Challenges and Future Directions

    Ovadiya, Mirey; Zampaglione, Giuseppe; Das, Maitreyi; Andrews, Colin; Elder, John (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-05-28)
    Demand for social protection is growing in low income countries and fragile situations. In recent years, the success of social protection (SP) interventions in middle income countries (MICs) like Brazil and Mexico, along with the series of food, fuel, and financial crises, has prompted policymakers in low income countries (LICs) and fragile situations (FSs) to examine the possibility of introducing such programs in their own countries. Flagship programs in countries as diverse as Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, and Rwanda have shown the adaptability of social protection interventions to the LIC context. Yet, despite growing levels of support for these initiatives, many challenges remain. In LICs and FSs, governments are confronted with a nexus of mutually reinforcing deficits that increase the need for SP programs and simultaneously reduce their ability to successfully respond. Governments face hard choices about the type, affordability, and sustainability of SP interventions. The paper reviews how these factors affect SP programs in these countries and identifies ways to address the deficits. It supports the establishment of resilient SP systems to address specific needs and vulnerabilities and to respond flexibly to both slow and sudden onset crises. To achieve this, both innovation and pragmatism are required in three strategic areas: (i) building the basic blocks of SP systems (e.g., targeting, payments, and monitoring and evaluation); (ii) ensuring financial sustainability; and (iii) promoting good governance and transparency. These issues suggest the possibility of a different trajectory in the development of social protection in LICs than in MICs. The implications for World Bank support include the need to focus on increasing knowledge and operational effectiveness of SP programs, fostering institutional links between multiple SP programs, and using community capacity and technological innovations to overcome bottlenecks in operations.
