| description |
Several East Asian countries, in the
aftermath of the global financial crisis, are considering an
expansion of their social safety net programs. In many
cases, existing delivery mechanisms for social assistance in
the region tend to be basic, in line with the small size of
programs. In a context of coverage expansion and
proliferation of new programs, the risk of creating
increasingly complex systems characterized by
cross-incentives is high. Lack of coordination, ambiguous
criteria for identifying and selecting beneficiaries, low
administrative capacity, lack of transparency and limited
beneficiary participation pose risks for program
effectiveness and can decrease accountability. Good
governance can improve program outcomes through effective
program coordination, stronger accountability arrangements,
provider incentives and greater transparency and
participation. This paper proposes an analytical framework
to systematically identify governance risks and constraints
which, if removed, could improve the outcomes of modern
social assistance programs. |
