BUILDING THE EVIDENCE Negotiation Phase Estimating cost and impact of the program despite limited data (IOF 2009) [done] Design Phase MEF updating cost and impact assessment with new data (IOF 2015) Understanding the implication of grants structure (time, amount to be disbursed and frequency, bottlenecks) Implementation Phase Using the expansion in coverage to undertake a solid impact assessment as a means to build the evidence, including the new Child Grants
CHANGING POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SCENARIO Political moment for the new Strategy: need to ensure continued commitment Pressure to reduce public spending due to delay in LGN revenues MSW limited capacity to engage on PFM and impact assessment. Inst. Capacity challenges Need to double the envelope for social protection (2 points GDP)
