Publicação The Challenge of Integrating Social Protection Programmes(2009) Andrade, MelissaCoordinating social protection programmes across different ministries is a challenge in every country. It is not easy to make public organisations engage in dialogue. Exploring different institutional models may be crucial to finding solutions to an often “dysfunctional” government. Brazil, Chile and Colombia are cases worth exploring in Latin America, while Kenya and Ghana in Sub-Saharan Africa are examples of new experiences that are now being developed. Apart from CONSEA (the National Council on Food Security and Nutrition), Brazil also has interministerial chambers and formal coordination mechanisms under the 1993 Organic Law on Social Assistance. There is a National Council of Social Assistance, State Councils and Municipal Councils comprising representatives from the government and from civil society organisations. The National Council is attached to the Ministry of Social Development and is responsible for coordinating the National Social Assistance Policy, approving the budget and the criteria for transferring resources, monitoring management of the resources and the progress made. (...)Publicação Study Tour Africa-Brazil on Social - Promotion and Protection(2008) Unit, South-South LearningBetween 25 and 29 August, 25 representatives of the governments of Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique and Namibia, plus delegates from the African Development Bank, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and the African Union took part in a study tour on social promotion and protection in Brazil. The event was part of the Brazil-Africa Cooperation Programme on Social Development and sought to foster cooperation between the Brazilian government and the participating African countries in developing successful social protection policies. After three days in Brasília the delegation made a field visit to Recife, in Pernambuco state. There they were introduced to various initiatives supported by MDS, such as the Cisterns Programme, the Food Purchase Programme, Community Restaurants, Bolsa Família and a Social Assistance Reference Centre. (...)Publicação Social Protection in West Africa: Many Challenges but Great Initiatives(2008) Unit, South-South LearningScarce social security, difficulties in prioritising investments, lack of comprehensive social protection frameworks: this is the scenario in most countries of West Africa. The region in which circumstances are as different as Nigeria and Sierra Leone is most often guided by poverty reduction strategy papers and remains highly dependent on donor resources. Many West African countries seem to lack a clear vision of their development options— it being difficult to plan strategically when a desire for long-term investments competes with the need for immediate alleviation of extreme hunger. There are many different understandings of “social protection”. Social security coverage remains very limited, and ministries of social development and labour are usually more concerned with providing the basic mechanisms for the system to work. Of course, the expansion of social security is also at the heart of the political debate, because most economic activities take place outside the formal sector. But in many countries it is still a challenge to ensure that benefits are delivered to workers who are already covered. The region has only a few cash transfer schemes, such as those in Ghana and Sierra Leone. (...)Publicação Social Protection in Ghana(2008) Unit, South-South LearningAlong the second half of 2007, the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger took part in three technical missions to Ghana to give assistance to the newest and most significant Social Protection Programme in this African country: the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP). Ghana designed its National Social Protection Strategy focusing on LEAP, which is based on the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (GPRS II) of the country. The Programme starts with a 5-year pilot experience in which the main components are conditional and unconditional cash transfers to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), the elderly above 65 years old and the disabled. In the next five years, the Programme aims at reaching about 160,000 families living in extreme poverty. Last March, LEAP had already made its first cash transfer, and by June, the Programme should cover about 3,200 families in 20 districts throughout the country. By the end of 2008 the Programme expects to cover 15,000 families in 50 districts. (...)Publicação Social Policies in a Period of Crisis(2009) Unit, South-South LearningTo those who ask me how much longer social policies will be needed, I answer that such policies are here to stay. Even in more advanced societies, there will always be a vulnerable sector in every population. They are people, families and even entire communities that, by force of random circumstance, have seen their living conditions deteriorate and are in need of aid from the state. In Brazil, we began to structure our social promotion and protection network only recently, and we still have a long journey ahead of us. The absence of a policy that sought to protect the poorest and fight inequality throughout our history left us with a huge social debt, so now we are making great efforts to reverse this situation. Indeed, that is why the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger (MDS) was created in February 2004, with a structure devoted exclusively to reaching the poorest people in the country. The positive results are visible and have been confirmed by studies and research.
