4 CRITERIA USED FOR STRATEGY PREPARATION Complements and supports Myanmar s poverty reduction and economic growth strategies Addresses the different risks and vulnerabilities across the life cycle Highlights most costeffective programmes in reaching the poor and vulnerable Takes a universal and equitable approach Adopts a holistic approach recognizing the diverse and complex risks and vulnerabilities facing individuals and families Includes a peoplecentered approach that reflects Myanmar s social norms Highlights evidencebased approaches Includes policy and programme designs that are child and gender sensitive Adopts a flexible and adaptive approach so that social protection can be modified and strengthened over time WHY A UNIVERSAL APPROACH? Assessing income and means across all of Myanmar would require enormous resources 80% of the population is clustered near the poverty line, so those resources would be chasing a small minority of people It is very difficult to assess income and means, and many poor and vulnerable would be excluded and well off included, leading to inequity and social tension The very well off self-target, meaning they are not likely to queue in line for a benefit of the sizes proposed in the Strategy As Myanmar s economy grows, and more graduate to middle and higher income, targeting can be introduced 4
