Inter Agency Social Protection Assessment (ISPA) tool on Food Security and Nutrition
This Inter-Agency Social Protection Assessment (ISPA) tool on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN ISPA) provides a framework of analysis to assess how social assistance and programmes can achieve a greater positive impact on food security and nutrition (FSN) at country level. This tool belongs to the set of programme level ISPA tools and focuses on identifying opportunities to strengthen coherence and improve the results of social assistance programmes for FSN. The FSN ISPA tool is a broadly designed proposed set of principles, steps and instruments for country adaptation that must be tailored to each country context and programme under review. It is not intended to be used for cross-country comparisons, but rather aims to analyse the given programme(s) of focus and country context (including FSN and other conditions), to identify where and how FSN impacts may be enhanced. ISPA tools are the result of a multi-agency initiative that aims to put forth a unified set of definitions, assessment tools, and outcome metrics to provide systematic information for a country to assess its social protection system, schemes, programmes, and implementation arrangements.
Social Policy in the Islamic World
This book examines social policy in Muslim countries across the world and the status and role of Islamic teachings in such policies. It fills a gap in the literature by reviewing and comparing the experience of several Muslim countries from across the world. The existing social policy literature lacks a comprehensive appraisal of the social policy scene in Muslim societies, especially from a comparative perspective. This book will be of interest to a wide audience in the academic and policy forums related to and interested in Muslim societies and communities.
The state of social insurance for agricultural workers in the Near East and North Africa and challenges for expansion
Agricultural workers are exposed to many risks during their life cycle and are particularly vulnerable to covariate risks, such as droughts, armed conflict and pandemics. Despite the great potential of social protection policies to protect this segment of the population, agricultural workers are commonly excluded from social protection systems—especially from contributory schemes—due to legal, programme design, financial, administrative, institutional, participation, and information barriers. This paper analyses the availability of social insurance schemes for agricultural workers in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, including many types of insurance: old age, disability and ...
Fetal Growth Restriction
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a condition that affects 5%–10% of all pregnancies and is the second most common cause of perinatal mortality. Fetuses with FGR present with a greater risk of long-term health defects as impaired neurological and cognitive development and cardiovascular or endocrine diseases in adulthood. Due to its high prevalence and serious long term consequences, an in-depth understating of the diagnosis and management of FGR is essential for all those professionals involved in prenatal care, since it can prevent unwanted outcomes both to the mother and to the newborn. On the last years, the knowledge about fetal growth restriction has evolved considerably, with an inc...
Social protection coverage – Sudan case study
This research report presents a case study of the application of the proposed methodology to Sudan using data captured by the 2014-2015 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBS). The application of the methodology proposed in the toolkit requires the identification of individuals’ characteristics to fit them into specific social groups, and the risks to which each of these categories is exposed. This survey enables the identification of different social groups according to the age, gender and place of residence of the respondents, as well as six risks: a child being out of school, food insecurity, unemployment, insufficient earnings, crop failure and livestock issues, and natural...
Social protection coverage toolkit
In partnership with the Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (NENA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) has developed a toolkit with a new step-by-step methodology to calculate the extent to which a population is covered against the risks that affect them throughout their life cycle (Bacil et al. 2020). This approach focuses on identifying different social groups and the risks to which each of them is vulnerable, defining a coverage function for each risk that enables a calculation of how much an intervention is capable of protecting vulnerable people against said risk. Thus, it goes beyond the usual approaches to measuring social protection coverage, which tend to equate programme participation with social protection coverage.
Revisiting Targeting in Social Assistance
Targeting is a commonly used, but much debated, policy tool within global social assistance practice. Revisiting Targeting in Social Assistance: A New Look at Old Dilemmas examines the well-known dilemmas in light of the growing body of experience, new implementation capacities, and the potential to bring new data and data science to bear. The book begins by considering why or whether or how narrowly or broadly to target different parts of social assistance and updates the global empirics around the outcomes and costs of targeting. It illustrates the choices that must be made in moving from an abstract vision to implementable definitions and procedures, and in deciding how the choices should...
O Direito à Inclusão Digital das Pessoas com Deficiência Visual
Esta obra jurídica propõe uma reflexão acerca do direito à inclusão digital das pessoas com deficiência visual, sob o aspecto da dignidade da pessoa humana, no atual panorama da Sociedade da Informação. Trata-se de um tema extremamente relevante nos dias atuais, uma vez que, tal grupo de pessoas, em virtude da limitação visual podem se vir impedidos de ter o acesso de forma autônoma as ferramentas digitais advindas da Revolução da Informação, impactando nos direitos mais básicos e fundamentais que compõem o ser humano. Dessa forma, faz-se necessário defender que o direito à informação, assim como o direito ao acesso à internet e o direito à inclusão digital devem ser ...
Initiative d’évaluations inter-agences de la protection sociale (ISPA) sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition
Cet outil de l’initiative d’évaluations inter-agences de la protection sociale (ISPA) sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (FSN ISPA) fournit un cadre d’analyse permettant d’évaluer la manière dont les instruments et programmes d’aide sociale peuvent avoir un impact positif accru sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (FSN) au niveau des pays. Cet outil fait partie de l’ensemble d’outils ISPA au niveau des programmes et entend mettre en évidence des occasions de renforcer la cohérence et d’améliorer les résultats des programmes d’aide sociale en matière de FSN. L’outil FSN ISPA est un ensemble proposé de principes, étapes et instruments conçus dans une optique générale et destinés à être adaptés par chaque pays, qui doit être ajusté à chaque contexte de pays et programme examiné. Il n’a pas été conçu dans une perspective de comparaisons entre pays, mais entend plutôt analyser le(s) programme(s) examinés et le contexte du pays (y compris la FSN et autres conditions), afin d’identifier où et comment renforcer les impacts en matière de FSN.
