Abstract

The 18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan shifted the administrative paradigm from centralized to decentralized structures. The added obligations require major policy and institutional reforms in an otherwise weak social protection (SP) sector at provincial levels, generally characterized by limited planning, coordination, execution, and monitoring capacities. SP has become a salient feature of social policy, nationally as well as internationally. The basic components of a SP framework include safety nets or social assistance, social care for children and the elderly, social insurance and labor market interventions for productive employment generation. SP is conferred as an entitlement in the Pakistani Constitution, and the Government of Sindh (GoS) has demonstrated political commitments to this. This note outlines the key considerations of a policy on SP as part of the GoS commitment to reduce poverty, inequality, and vulnerability in the province. Section one gives introduction. Some of the key development challenges that a SP policy may need to consider prioritizing is described in section two. Sections three and four describes critical design principles of SP policies and programs, respectively. Section five reviews the current de facto SP programming in Sindh, while section six delineates a way forward for policy development.

Abstract

As global extreme poverty has fallen-by one measure, from close to 2 billion people in 1990 to about 700 million today-the world has learned about antipoverty strategies that work. These experiences should inform the final push to end extreme poverty. In the 1960s and 1970s, when close to half of the world was living in extreme poverty, the approach that worked best consisted of two sets of complementary measures: encouraging broad-based growth that is labor using, and investing in education, health, and family planning. When extreme poverty rates came down-first in East Asia and then in other parts of the developing world-it became clear that the two-point strategy to make economies grow and enable people to invest in human capital needed a social assistance supplement to help people with disadvantages so severe that they could not benefit from economic opportunities and better social services. This two-and-a-half-point strategy has been working well over the past quarter century, and the end of extreme poverty is in sight. But more people are now at risk of slipping back into poverty because of economic, natural, and health-related hazards. To end extreme poverty by 2030, the approach now needs three complementary components: economic growth, investments in people, and measures to insure against setbacks to families, nations, and regions due to disabilities, recessions, disasters, and disease. In countries that have reduced poverty a lot and those that could do a lot better, a winning game plan for putting a quick end to extreme poverty should be based on a three-point strategy: grow, invest, and insure.

Abstract

In de context van de Lissabonstrategie, en meer bepaald in de open coördinatiemethode die ingevoerd is voor sociale materies, heeft de Raad van de Europese Unie de Lidstaten gevraagd om in september 2006 “nationale rapporten inzake de sociale bescherming en de sociale inclusie voor de periode 2006-2008” voor te leggen.Het Belgische strategisch rapport, dat u op deze website kunt raadplegen, bevat vier hoofdstukken.Hoofdstuk I is een Algemene inleiding die de stand van zaken van de sociale situatie in België opmaakt met informatie over welzijn, sociale bescherming, armoede, gezondheid, huisvesting … enz. Het vat ook de algemene beleidsbenadering van België op sociaal vlak samen ; die heeft als hoofddoel om een sterke, leefbare, rechtvaardige en solidaire sociale zekerheid te behouden.Hoofdstuk II, gewijd aan het “Nationaal Actieplan Sociale Inclusie”, analyseert 3 sleuteluitdagingen : iedereen de garantie bieden op betaalbare en degelijke huisvesting, de activering en de verscheidenheid in werk en maatschappelijke integratie meer ontwikkelen, en het bestrijden van armoede die kinderen treft.Hoofdstuk III over de pensioenen werkt het “Belgisch Nationaal Strategisch Pensioen-rapport 2005” bij met behandeling respectievelijk van de drie gemeenschappelijke Europese doelstellingen, zijnde: toereikende pensioenen, de leefbaarheid van het pensioenstelsel en de modernisering van de pensioenstelsels.Hoofdstuk IV betreft de gezondheidszorg en de langdurige zorg. Het behandelt de voornaamste uitdagingen waarmee het land wordt geconfronteerd inzake gezondheidszorg en langdurige zorg, waarbij het zich concentreert op de drie gemeenschappelijke doelstellingen op Europees vlak : de toegang tot de gezondheidszorg en de langdurige zorg verzekeren; de kwaliteit van de zorg bevorderen ; de financiële leefbaarheid verzekeren van de systemen van gezondheidszorg en langdurige zorg.Voorts verduidelijken verschillende bijlagen het rapport, waaronder voorbeelden van « Good practice ».Tenslotte, dient opgewerkt te worden dat de Europese Commissie, op basis van deze nationale strategische rapporten, een ontwerp van gemeenschappelijk rapport inzake sociale bescherming en sociale inclusie zal voorstellen met het oog op de Raad van maart 2007.

Abstract

'Measuring the Effectiveness of Social Protection: Concepts and Applications' provides the conceptual and analytical framework for assessing social protection (SP) programs, as well as provides a practical guide for users seeking to conduct analysis, particularly using the World Bank's Software Platform for Automated Economic Analysis (ADePT). The manual provides a comprehensive unique resource to tie together social policy theory, concepts and practical analytical techniques.The book content is targeted at policymakers and practitioners worldwide seeking to improve the outcomes of their social protection policies. It suggests advanced methods and a new rapid analysis instrumental for technical experts working on quantitative SP analysis for their ministry, national statistics offices, think tanks, universities, or development organizations.The book aims to equip users with different statistical background and SP knowledge to independently conduct SP analysis and prepare a standardized set of tables and graphs to conduct different types of SP performance analysis, ranging from benchmarking SP performance within and across countries, simulating the performance of alternative reform options, and assessing the viability of proposed programs.
