What are BD in SSN

BD may be used as a broad term. It may include alldimensions of human and social development:education, health, income generation, housing, access

to services, active citizenship and voice: well being.

BD in SSN is more specific in scope and reach: It isfocused in promoting improvements in basic socialconditions of beneficiaries through adequate andavailable interventions

Key question are: Which are those adequate andavailable interventions? And, how to make them

accesible to beneficiaries.

Improve basic socialconditions

of B

Promotion

Adequateinterventions

Availableinterventions

Why BD in SSNSocial assistance through cash transfers supports betterconsumption (complements income for poor HH) butdo not modify HH or individuals conditions

Social assistance for persons with potential should betemporary. It is only permanent for persons withdisability, elderly of other impeding conditions.

New approaches to social assistance are focusing in

protection + promotion + prevention. Meaning,interventions should be redesigned and enhanced to bemore effective and have greater impact on poverty andits effects (malnutrition, poor education, precarious income)

Strategy: How to design effective BD?(2)

Adequate and Available interventions

2. Adequate interventions are: Aligned to aims and goals (Human Development,

income generation, reduction of vulnerability) Based on PROFILES. Families have different

conditions (not only in income), e.g. Access to land,education of head of HH, disability

Life-cycle approach (infants and children U5,children, adolescents and youth, women, adults,elderly)

National priorities

Strategy: How to design effective BD?(3)

Adequate and Available interventions

3. Available interventions are: Public interventions operational in field (villages) Coverage and scale according to target population

(profiles) Capacity to deliver

Sustainable in medium and long term


10/13

Execution: How to implementeffective BD?

Develop profile of beneficiaries with databases in Registry(different conditions of families and individuals)

Identify evidence based priorities. National and Local (3Governorates)

Develop inventory of options at National and for the 3Governorates (use adequacy and availability checklist)

Design pilots to learn. Main test is about how to connect beneficiaries with programmes with efficiency

Set the flow of big scale operations to test in pilot


11/13

Some international examplesThese are examples, not recommendations for immediateaction:

Transformation of Cash Transfer Programmes intoConditional Cash Transfer Programmes with HumanDevelopment aim and goals: nutrition / health andeducation outcomes through services provided by MoEand MoPHP

Connecting youth with education with activeemployment programmes (training, job intermediation,soft skills development) Cash transfer programmesprovide scholarship or transfers and EmploymentProgrammes deliver these employability services


12/13

Some lessons to be consideredMain challenge is how to set up BD in countrieswithout adequate and effective interventions. Look for

best option adequate and available

Substitution is not an option. By mandate, strategy andinstitucional capacity, SWF should not provide ordevelop the interventions or programmes

Small projects (retail approach) is not an option for BDin big scale SSN as SWF. This is a temptation thatshould be avoided. Some pilots are not option.

Invest and trust in your strengths: Targeting andprofiling HH, cash transfer delivery, coverage, scale andreach
