| Summary: | The main objective of this technical
note is to evaluate the institutional and implementation
framework needed for strengthening payment systems as a core
element of delivering social protection and labor (SPL)
benefits to the poor, around which targeting, identification
and monitoring systems operate. The assessment aims to
support improving how new national programs and initiatives
identify the poorest households, assess their needs and
facilitate the delivery of investments and services to them
by maximizing digital financial technology. The note is
structured as follows. Following the introduction in
section I, section II looks at institutional framework,
including the regulatory environment for financial services
as well as the personal identification (ID) landscape in
Côte d'Ivoire. Section III assesses the current payment
systems in the four focus programs chosen. Section IV
provides recommendations for improvement of the payment
systems of the four focus programs in the short and long
term, with an eye not only toward improving service delivery
for the beneficiaries of individual programs, but also
toward improving coordination between programs. |
