“When biological factors (like being too young or too old to work) are combined with negative life time shocks (such as sickness, unemployment, natural disasters, social conflicts) the case for social protection is overwhelming.”

Recommendations to USAID
• Continue current programs• Strengthen/build on existing institutions and human resources
(GOK and NSA)• Realign Implementing Partners’ terms of reference and work plans
with GOK SP initiatives and provide tactical direction.• Establish (or adopt) a standard set of indicators to measure SP
program impact.• Provide line-of-credit solution to engage private sector in
development• Invest in Social Messaging to accelerate Norm shifts and
institutional change.

Next Steps for USAID

social determinants affecting each sector– Identify leverage points of co-operation.
• Meet GOK counter parts in each sector• Prepare Program Description to meet GOKand
USAID SP development objectives.
