There is a need to devise a set of cost effective programs to expand the scope and coverage of the national safety net. Given that any reform plan must be financially feasible, the government must allocate its scarce resources to programs that are well targeted and efficient. Creating the fiscal room for safety nets will also depend on political will. The government needs to: (i) strengthen the strategic, institutional, and financial frameworks for designing, implementing, and monitoring and evaluating safety nets; and (ii) increase the effectiveness of the safety net system by strengthening existing programs and designing new ones.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO JUSTICEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORANTI-POVERTYASSISTANCE PROGRAMSASSISTANCE STRATEGYATTENDANCE RATESBASIC FOODSTUFFSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCAPACITY-BUILDINGCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFERSCHILD BENEFITSCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONDITIONAL CASHCONDITIONAL TRANSFERSCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCOPING MECHANISMSCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCOVARIATE SHOCKSDONOR FUNDINGDONOR SUPPORTDROUGHTECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC RISKSECONOMIC SHOCKSELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMPLOYMENT PROMOTIONEQUITABLE ACCESSEXTERNAL FINANCINGEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY ALLOWANCESFARMERSFEE WAIVERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD COMMODITIESFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD GOODSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD INTAKEFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD RATIONSFOOD SALESFOOD SECURITYFOOD STAMPSFOOD SUBSIDIESFOOD TRANSFERSFOOD-FOR-WORKFREE DISTRIBUTIONFREE HEALTHHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SERVICESHOME RATIONSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN CAPITAL FORMATIONHUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXIDIOSYNCRATIC RISKSILLITERACYIMPACT OF SHOCKSIMPACT ON POVERTYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME SHOCKSINCOME SUPPORTINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINEQUALITYINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL AIDLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLEAN SEASONLIMITED ACCESSLIVE BIRTHSLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSMACROECONOMIC CRISISMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMARKET WAGEMEANS TESTNUTRITION INTERVENTIONSNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL PROGRAMSOLD AGEPENSIONPENSIONSPOLITICAL INFLUENCEPOORPOOR CHILDRENPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR ECONOMIC GROWTHPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR LIVINGPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MAPSPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPRIVATE TRANSFERSPRODUCTION SYSTEMSPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC ASSISTANCEPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SAFETY NETPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC TRANSFERSPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSPURCHASING POWERREFORM PLANREMOTE AREASRESPONSE TO CRISESRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONSAFETY NET MEASURESSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL SUPPLIESSHARE OF TRANSFERSSHOCKSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INVESTMENTSOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL PROJECTSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL TRANSFERSOCIAL TRANSFERSSSNSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSUBSIDIZINGSUBSISTENCETARGETED SOCIAL SAFETY NETSTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTAX EXEMPTIONSTAXATIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETEMPORARY ASSISTANCETEMPORARY SUPPORTTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSTRANSFERS IN CASHTRANSIENT POORUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSAL SUBSIDIESUSER FEESVOUCHERSVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSVULNERABLE PEOPLEVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWAGE RATEWAIVER PROGRAMWELFARE QUINTILESWORK PROGRAMSWORKFAREWORKS PROGRAM10.1596/20187
