| Summary: | The main objective of this policy note
is to assess key social protection and labor (SPL) policies,
program expenditures and institutional arrangements in Cote
d'Ivoire. The note aims to identify policy options for
improving allocative and technical efficiency for key
programs, including how to modernize and coordinate
financing arrangements, delivery systems and benefit
packages across different populations. The main policy
question addressed by the note is to what extent spending
levels and institutional arrangements have been effective in
terms of reaching and supporting the poorest households. The
first part of the policy note focuses on providing an
overview of current programs; the second part focuses on
policy options moving forward; the final part concludes with
a framework for reform. As an initial analysis, the first
part of the note takes stock and reviews key aspects of the
main SPL programs in terms of: (i) financing, (ii) access
and coverage, and (iii) governance and administration in
service delivery. The second part of the note evaluates
options for strengthening risk management as a
well-coordinated, integrated system across different
programs, with a focus on (i) fiscal implications, (ii)
distributional effects, and (iii) modernizing design
features. Finally, the last part discusses a framework for
reform, political economy considerations and recommendations
for structuring social dialogue on reforms. |
