The ISPH project adheres to the strategic direction of the National Social Protection Council and provides technical support in two complementary areas of social protection and health.
In the field of social protection, policy advice is provided to strengthen the strategic framework. Areas of focus include Universal Health Coverage, digital transformation, shock-responsiveness, and inclusiveness. Work is underway to enhance the public communications system so that the general population can better understand their social protection rights, entitlements, and participation possibilities. This includes developing the capacity of the village chiefs who often are the people’s main source of social protection system-related information. The Identification of Poor Households (IDPoor) system is a cornerstone of the social protection system. It is being evolved to become a social registry, allowing proactive support instead of reacting only after a household becomes poor. Technical support is provided to two new organisations to refine their design and start operations. These are the National Social Assistance Fund which is envisioned to operate all social assistance programmes in order to improve operational efficiency, and the Social Security Regulator which will work towards improving oversight, especially in the areas of fiscal health and programme effectiveness.
