Learning Curves: Strengthening Social Protection Systems in Asia and the Pacific
Asian Development Bank | December 2012
Abstract
The study found the strategy’s envisaged pattern of support was not sufficiently realized. ADB lending for social protection rose sharply during the food, fuel, and financial crises of 2008–2010, but then rapidly declined. This suggests that ADB and client countries have given a low priority to social protection once a crisis has passed, thereby missing opportunities for sustaining dialogue on social protection as part of an inclusive growth strategy. In its social protection interventions, ADB still needs to make the transition from addressing the direct effect of a crisis to helping countries strengthen social protection systems after the crisis has passed.
