Resumen

On October 6 and 7, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, a technical workshop was held. The aim of the workshop was the review and validation of the Social Protection Expenditure and Performance Review (SPER) and the impact study on support funds for the promotion of employment in Burkina Faso. The SPER and the impact study were conducted in the framework of the EU-ILO project “Improving social protection and promoting employment.”

The objectives of the SPER are to identify the scope of social protection in terms of risks and needs covered as well as existing gaps; determine the expenses and their financing structures; and analyze the effectiveness of the performance of existing social protection schemes regarding their coverage. Therefore, the SPER provides a holistic analysis of the wider social protection system in Burkina Faso, complementing previous research by the World Bank and UNICEF that mainly focus on the country's social safety nets.
