This report presents the results of a
diagnostic study on the targeting of social protection
programs in Uzbekistan with a specific focus on low-income
family allowances. The objective is to determine the extent
to which current programs are reaching the poor and can
reduce poverty, and consequently to identify ways to improve
the current design features and implementation processes.
The study is part of the collaboration between the
Government of Uzbekistan and the World Bank in improving the
effectiveness of social protection. Targeting is the overall
process that enables the administration to inform potential
beneficiaries through outreach activities, facilitate
application procedures, and assess needs and eligibility to
finally enroll beneficiaries. Therefore, targeting involves
the delicate process of identifying and selecting
beneficiaries. Key findings are that: 1) no common standards
exist for outreach activities, and 2) there is a need to
better define who belongs to the same household and for
procedures to impute income, as well as to standardize the
way living conditions are assessed and verified. Moreover,
one of the main reasons for exclusion errors is the use of
caps in budgeting and in the number of beneficiaries at the
local level. |
