Mexico: Tendiendo puentes entre políticas sociales y de inclusión productiva

A continuación, se presenta un resumen del análisis institucional del programa de inclusión productiva rural (proinpro), que estuvo orientado a analizar los mecanismos institucionales que determinaron la efectividad y restricciones de la articulación entre este programa y las dependencias a cargo de los
programas de fomento productivo con que éste debía coordinarse. Para esto se analiza proinpro tanto en
su articulación con prospera – programa de inclusión
social, como con la oferta de programas de fomento productivo (pfp) existentes en distintas secretarías del ejecutivo federal.

El documento describe los programas involucrados y presenta los principales resultados del análisis institucional, lo que sustenta las recomendaciones
que se realizan.

Mexico: Building bridges between social and productive inclusion policies

In the following a summary is presented of the institutional analysis of the proyecto de inclusión productiva rural (proinpro), aimed at analysing the institutional mechanisms that determined the effectiveness and restrictions of the coordination between this programme and the government
bodies in charge of the development programmes with which it must coordinate. For this purpose,
proinpro is analysed both in its coordination with the prospera – programa de inclusión social, and with the provision of productive development programmes (pdps) that exist in different ministries at the federal executive level. The document describes the programmes involved and presents the main results of the institutional analysis, which supports the recommendations that have been made.

institutional analysis that was carried out in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ethiopia, Lesotho and Mali, with the purpose of analysing the institutional, formal and informal mechanisms that contribute to the effectiveness of the coordination between programmes and/or components of social protection and rural productive development.

Ethiopia: Building bridges between social and productive inclusion policies

Ethiopia has a land area of 1.1 million km2 and a population of more than 100 million. Its economy is largely based on agriculture, which employs two
thirds of the population and accounts for about one third (31.2 percent) of its gdp (world development indicators). Most of the agricultural sector is based on smallholder farmers, who produce about 94
percent of the country’s food crops and 98 percent of the coffee. A sizeable proportion of the rural population depends on social protection to bridge the food gap arising from recurrent drought and other shocks. This implies that both social protection and agriculture are important sectors to address food insecurity and poverty in rural ethiopia. They should therefore be planned and implemented in an integrated and coherent manner.

Zambia: Building bridges between social and productive inclusion policies

Zambia enjoyed strong economic growth between 2004 and 2014, which benefited small segments of the
urban population. Because growth was accompanied by increased inequality, its effects on poverty reduction were limited. In 2015, 58 percent of zambians were below the international poverty line of $1.90 per day and three quarters of the poor lived in rural areas. To contain
inequality, bring people out of poverty and improve the lives of the most vulnerable, the government of zambia
committed to expand social protection expenditure
in the 2019 budget by 18 percent from the previous year, following a series of consecutive expansions of this
sector. Nevertheless, in 2019 zambia still spent only 0.7 percent of the country’s gdp on social protection,
lagging behind the regional average.

Mali: Building bridges between social and productive inclusion policies

In 2015-2017, fao’s resilience, emergency and rehabilitation office for west africa implemented the project productive safety nets as a tool to reinforce the resilience in the sahel (hereinafter referred to as the cash+ project) in mali and mauritania. The project’s primary objective was to offer a response to the critical humanitarian situation in many parts of the sahel, where around four and a half million people face recurrent food and nutrition crises. At the time of the project, this situation was caused by the late start of the rainy season, meagre crop harvests, armed conflict, low pastoral production and the residual effects of the ebola outbreak. In mali, the intervention was carried out in the nioro du sahel circle, in the region of kayes. It originated from the ongoing quest by the malian authorities for greater food and nutrition security for the population, in a country that often suffers food shortages. The 2015 early hunger period could have exacerbated the deteriorating livelihoods of very poor households if no measures had been taken. There was clearly an urgent need to help vulnerable populations better absorb and withstand shocks by responding to early warning signals.

Lesotho: Building bridges between social and productive inclusion policies

Lesotho has demonstrated strong commitment towards
addressing poverty and vulnerability through social
protection. In 2017-18, lesotho’s social assistance
expenditure was 5.7% of its gdp, compared to about 1 to
2% in most other developing countries. A concerted
effort has been taken to implement a comprehensive
and coherent social protection strategy. The ministry
of social development (mosd), created in 2012, has been
leading this effort. The national social protection
strategy of 2015 aims to operationalize a set of
programmes, operated by various ministries, that seek
to reduce vulnerabilities across the life course of
individuals. Despite these attempts, intersectoral
coordination remains a challenge. In fact, the bulk
of social assistance expenditure and coverage sits
outside the ministry’s purview: more than 80% of the
government’s social assistance spending go to the
old age pension, managed by the ministry of finance,
a tertiary bursary programme implemented by the
ministry of development planning, and the national
school feeding programme managed by the ministry of
education and training.
