1 Emil Tesliuc and Phillippe Leite November 23, 2009 ADePT SP (developed by HDNSP-SSN SSN team and Development Research Group -Poverty Team ) ADePT SP is a Stata routine built as a special module in ADePT. Through consistent set of methods and assumptions, ADePT SP produces up to 24 standardized tables and 3 graphs to examine how equitable, efficient and effective social protection programs are. ADePT SP generate indicators about benefits or beneficiaries across quintiles and deciles of a monetary welfare or a non-monetary welfare; and broken-down by other population groups. THE QUALITY OF OUTPUTS DEPENDS ON DATA QUALITY AND DATA MANIPULATION GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT 2 1

2 ADePT SP (developed by HDNSP-SSN SSN team and Development Research Group -Poverty Team )) Value Added of ADePT SP Current practice: estimate only a partial set of indicators; without sensitivity testing; ti different, non-transparent t algorithms by different researchers. ADePT SP: 1. A simplified framework for judging the impact of a SN program on poverty based on a set of intermediate outcome indicators dpg = f(coverage, Generosity, Targeting accuracy) 2. Can be used for ex-ante analysis of a new or re-designed d social protection program 3. Facilitates benchmarking, comparisons across programs and countries (generated using a standard procedure) 3 First step preparation of input data Main source of information: Household Surveys (HBS, IES, LSMS) Key Variables: Household identification Location of the household (Urban or Rural) The welfare level of the households, typically expressed as a per capita or per adult equivalent consumption or income; Poverty line (s) Expansion factor (individual or household) Sample frame design Social programs benefits or beneficiaries (either individual amount or household amount) 4 2

14 27 Next steps on Manual and on the Agenda Add sections: How to perform sensitivity analysis? How to simulate new programs, or changes in the parameters of existing programs? Receive feedback The team plans to develop both on-line and on-site training materials on how to use ADePT SP lecture format interactive exercise face-to-face training distance learning Next steps on the Agenda 28 Production of a Social Protection World Atlas By the end of the fiscal year 09, the HDNSP-SSN SSN team has piloted the Social Protection World Atlas (SP Atlas) using the ADePT SP and ECA region is working on a regional study. 14

15 Next steps on the Agenda Overall Social Assistance Coverage of Poorest Quintile (%) Next steps on the Agenda 30 Upgrades: Developing outcomes to examine dependency d on SA income(s) by able-bodies beneficiaries. Profile of the typical beneficiary of each individual SP program, compared with the "typical household" in the country Incorporating simulation feature to simulate a new program, or to simulate changes in few parameters of existing programs. Generating more graphs based on the current tabular output based on the sensitivity analysis (different welfare counterfactuals) 15
