Abstract
Many countries have used social
protection to achieve broader development goals,
particularly on poverty reduction and inclusive growth. A
wide range of social protection programs allows countries to
tackle specific development constraints at national,
community, and household levels; provide support to
particular population groups; and enhance growth-promoting
opportunities.For instance, public works programs and cash
transfers are important and flexible social assistance
programs that can be tailored to achieve specific objectives
and adjusted to various levels of institutional capacity.
They can also be implemented as national and centralized
programs or delivered in a more decentralized fashion
through community-driven development platforms.
