Social protection sector has equally evolved recently, both in terms of extending coverage of new programs and developing core functions on policy and strategy. The sector has matured from fragmented and largely off-budget donor programs to an increasingly government-owned and coherent system of interventions. But many Rwandans remain in extreme deprivation and are often stuck in chronic poverty. The sector thus needs to evolve further by deepening systems and reforms to the implementation level, increasing current low coverage of the poor by the core social safety nets programs and adequately responding to the changing needs of poverty and vulnerability. The government remains committed to pro-poor reforms and ensuring inclusive growth is sustained and enhanced.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCOUNTABILITY FOR SERVICEADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGE DISTRIBUTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WAGEBASIC HEALTHBASIC HEALTH CAREBASIC NEEDSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFICIARY HOUSEHOLDSBENEFIT PACKAGECAREGIVERSCASH BENEFITSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFERSCHILD MORTALITYCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY HEALTHCONSUMPTION POVERTYCONSUMPTION QUINTILESCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONSCOPING MECHANISMSCOPING STRATEGIESCOPING STRATEGYCORRELATES OF POVERTYDAILY WAGEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDIFFERENTIALS IN MORTALITYDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDISABILITYDISABILITY BENEFITSDISABILITY GRANTDONOR FUNDINGDONOR FUNDSDONOR SUPPORTDROUGHTDURABLE ASSETSECONOMIC GROWTHELDERLYELIGIBILITY CRITERIAELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIESEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONENROLMENT RATESEX-COMBATANTSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME POVERTY LINEEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSFARM EMPLOYMENTFARM SECTORFARM WORKFEE WAIVERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFIREWOODFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD CROPFOOD NEEDSFOOD SECURITYGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENOCIDEGOOD GOVERNANCEHEALTH CENTREHEALTH CENTRESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCE BASEILLNESSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME GENERATIONINCOME SUPPORTINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINEQUALITYINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFORMATION SYSTEMINSURANCE MECHANISMSINSURANCE SCHEMESIRRIGATIONJOB CREATIONLANDLESSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF PRODUCTIVITYLIVE BIRTHSLIVESTOCK OWNERSHIPLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOSS OF INCOMEMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATEMEDICAL EXPENSESMICRO-CREDITMICRO-ENTERPRISEMILKMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITY DECLINESMOTHERMOUNTAINOUS TERRAINNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL POLICYNEONATAL MORTALITYNUTRITIONOLD AGEOLD-AGEORPHANSPENSIONSPERSONS WITH DISABILITIESPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY LEVELPOORPOOR FARMERSPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPOVERTY ACROSS PROVINCESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERSPOVERTY STATUSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPROGRESSPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC WORKSRADIORATE OF GROWTHREDUCTION OF POVERTYREFUGEEREFUGEESREGIONAL VARIATIONREMITTANCESRESPECTRETURNEESRISK COPINGRISK MANAGEMENTRISK POOLINGRISK-POOLINGRURALRURAL AREASRURAL GAPSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL ENROLMENTSCHOOLINGSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELECTION CRITERIASERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSET OF RECOMMENDATIONSSHEEPSHOCKSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL PROTECTION SPENDINGSOCIAL RISKSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL TRANSFERSOCIAL TRANSFERSSSNSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSUBSISTENCESUBSISTENCE FARMERSSUPPORT GRANTTARGETINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSIENT POVERTYUNDERSTANDING OF POVERTYURBAN AREASVICTIMSVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTVULNERABILITY REDUCTIONVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWAGE WORK10.1596/20777
