| description |
As countries implement social assistance
(or safety net) programs, a range of technicalhurdles can
affect their implementation differently in rural and urban
areas. In urban areas,the focus of this study, cost of
living can be higher and more prone to economic
slowdowns.Poverty can be more severe than in rural areas and
accompanied by high malnutrition rates.Implementation
challenges in most urban areas relate to the lack of proper
identification,outreach, intake, and registration of
potential beneficiaries. These are in part due to thelack of
social cohesion and different channels of communication.
Therefore, social workersare likely to play an even more
fundamental role in program implementation and M&Eprocesses. |
