18. Mismatch between responsibilities and resources Lack of Capacity Financial Human Resources Technical Lack of information sharing Role of SSRA in non-contributory schemes unclear PEED faces staffing and financial resource challenges PEED has been moved around several times

19.  Adopt and implement NSPF  Operationalize and strengthen NSPG  Clarify the role of the highest level groups in SP coordination (NSC, headed by PM; PSs’ forum)  Ensure that all implementers are represented in NSPG  Resource of PEED adequately
