Book (stand-alone)Social protection coverage – Sudan case study 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This research report presents a case study of the application of the proposed methodology to Sudan using data captured by the 2014-2015 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBS). The application of the methodology proposed in the toolkit requires the identification of individuals’ characteristics to fit them into specific social groups, and the risks to which each of these categories is exposed. This survey enables the identification of different social groups according to the age, gender and place of residence of the respondents, as well as six risks: a child being out of school, food insecurity, unemployment, insufficient earnings, crop failure and livestock issues, and natural disaster. In conclusion, this study indicates a significant social protection coverage gap in Sudan. Government social protection programmes reach less than 3 per cent of women and men in rural and urban areas. Also government provision of formal social protection makes the smallest contribution to mitigating risks (0.4 per cent) as compared to other sources of protection. In other words, the benefits currently provided by the government are insufficient to address the risks that affect the population throughout the life cycle, hampering people’s livelihoods and the country’s development. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetExpanding access to social protection for rural populations 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Social protection is a human right, a commitment in the SDGs and it is an effective policy instrument to address the multiple crises we currently face like a changing climate, conflict and their links with poverty, hunger and inequality. While progress has been made in expanding access to social protection, there are still massive gaps in coverage. This is especially worrying in rural areas where there is a concentration of poor and vulnerable people with limited access to financial and social services, and informal employment is widespread. Consequently, poor and vulnerable rural households face colossal challenges in beneficially participating in economic opportunities, such as those in agrifood systems. Without access to adequate and comprehensive social protection, rural populations risk being left behind, blocking progress on reducing poverty and inequality. -
Book (stand-alone)Promoting coherence between integrated social protection measures and access to health/nutrition services
An institutional assessment of the IN-SCT pilot in Ethiopia
2021Also available in:
No results found.Rural livelihoods and social protection (SP) are highly correlated in Africa. The poor rural population makes the larger share of social protection clients on the continent. Improving coherence between social protection and other sources of rural earnings have the potential to improve the well-being of the rural poor. Despite this, the effort to advance articulation of SP with other rural development programmes and projects has often been undermined by the sectoral approach often pursued in most African countries, including Ethiopia. This study is therefore meant to assess the coherence between social protection, health and nutrition services, and agriculture by taking the case of Improved Nutrition through Integrated Basic Social Services with Social Cash Transfer (IN-SCT) in Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) setting in Ethiopia. The IN-SCT as an integral part of PSNP 4, was designed to pilot specific elements of PSNP4 (i.e. health/nutrition service linkage and nutrition sensitive agriculture) for scaling up during the roll out of the programme. This paper is being published in the context of a partnership between FAO, IFAD and the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) and its Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Económico (CEDE) based in Bogotá, Colombia.
