Technical Support on Social Protection in Malawi
Project properties
- Status: Completed
- This project is part of the Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All
Description
This project aims at an enhanced and extended coverage of social protection for vulnerable groups in Malawi. Government’s ownership of social protection and its capacity to drive, coordinate, and oversee social protection programmes will be increased through the introduction of a new strategic framework for social protection. The Malawi National Social Support Policy (MNSSP) will be reviewed to inform the design of the new MNSSP II. Policy options on reforming the Farm Input Subsidy Programme will be identified to inform the design of new programmes under MNSSP II. Advocacy initiatives targeting the social partners and other stakeholders will be conducted to increase awareness and knowledge of social protection. Social protection sector governance and operational systems will be strengthened to increase cost effectiveness in the delivery of social protection services. A study on the coordination of social protection programmes will be conducted and a nationally defined Employment Injury Insurance Scheme established. Social protection reform plans will be informed by an analysis of trade-offs of alternative scenarios with the help of the social budgeting tool.SDG
