Promoting and Developing Social Security Worldwide.
"This paper presents a framework for designing and implementing social protection and labor (SP&L) systems in middle and low income countries. Although the term "system" is used to describe a country"s set of social protection programs, these tend to operate independently with little or no coordination even when they have the same policy objective and target similar population groups. The paper argues that enhancing coordination across SP&L policies, programs, and administrative tools has the potential to enhance both individual program performance as well as the overall provision of social protection across programs. The first part of the paper discusses the characteristics of well-designed social protection systems."
