1 SSNs have an important role in addressing chronic poverty Do not create disincentive to work Spending for SSN is modest, subject to donor funding and inconsistent Implementation matters. Good targeting and administration are essential

22 Safety nets are non-contributory transfers targeted to the poor or vulnerable Programs such as: –Cash transfers, targeted or not, conditional or not; –Food or other in-kind distribution –Public workfare jobs –General price subsidies, eg for food or fuel –Fee waivers for essential services such as health or education Also known as social assistance or welfare Does NOT include social insurance, health, education, housing.

4 In making the case for SSN, the book outlines challenges and rebuttals wrt Affordability Various disincentives –The paper from SA clearly shows that there is no disincentive to work Administrative feasibility

5 Spending is modest and getting buy in from the government is difficult The paper on Uganda shows that there are political and fiscal barriers to the use and introduction of SSN in poor countries The case of Ethiopia shows that it is possible to introduce a program that has long term vision and financial stability Pakistan: New government committed Niger: Trying to do it

6 Spending on safety nets is modest Mean 1.7% of GDP; median 1.4% of GDP (n=72) For 1/2 of countries is about 1-2 % of GDP

7 Implementation matters The paper on Indonesia shows that clearly –Income dynamics cause changes in the composition of families –Definition of eligibility might make a difference Care in the design of processes of programs is essential for reaching the chronic poor and ensure political support

Safety nets require administrative systems Administrative systems require money, time and managerial acumen
