While its main scope is to map the government’s interventions in response to COVID-19, it was important nonetheless to also examine the general state of flagship social protection programmes that pre-date the pandemic. The brief calls for continued assessment of experiences and policy lessons learned from the government response to the pandemic.engAcesso AbertoWorking paperInternational Policy Centre for Inclusive GrowthUnited Nations Development ProgrammeLicença total exclusivaO texto e dados desta publicação podem ser reproduzidos desde que as fontes sejam citadas.
