| description |
High labor intensive (HIMO) public work
programs have been very popular in recent years in
Madagascar. They have been one of the most common safety net
program used to address poverty and vulnerability. The
objective of these programs has been to provide income
support to the poor in critical times, e.g. after natural
disasters, or to respond to seasonal shortfalls in
employment during the agricultural slack period (soudure),
and to improve much needed local infrastructures. The
Government has recently increased its commitment to
assisting poor households to prevent, mitigate and cope with
the consequences of these shocks. The poverty reduction
strategy paper, presented by the Government in 2003, calls
for a national strategy for social protection to address
risks and vulnerabilities as a central challenge to reduce
poverty and improve human capital in Madagascar. To
supplement effective implementation of policies in the area
of social protection, the Government developed a National
Risk Management and Social Protection Strategy (NRMSPS) in 2007. |
