It quantifies the counterfactual impact on poverty in 2022 absent the permanent programs and examines gaps in coverage across demographic and socioeconomic groups. Findings highlight inefficiencies from outdated policy and delivery systems, suboptimal targeting, and weak support for households with children, while recent transfer expansions show meaningful but uneven poverty effects.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nANNEX 3.  \nASSESSMENT OF SURINAME’S SOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEM  \nSURINAME  \nPOVERTY AND EQUITY ASSESSMENT  \nCONTENTS  \nKey Findings 4  \n1.

The other programs, which target disabled persons, children, and vulnerable households, either have more moderate coverage or provide more modest benefits.  \n• An outdated social protection policy framework and rudimentary delivery ","cbCaisttEUlPynXQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisttEUlPynXQ","pdf",4159611,5,1,46,"English","en",105,"# Key Findings\n# Introduction\n# Suriname’s Social Protection System\n## Background: Vision, Plans, Recent Developments, and Challenges\n## Implementation of Social Assistance Programs for Poverty-Targeting\n## Social Protection Landscape\n## Scale of Suriname’s Main Social Assistance Programs\n# Detailed Description of Suriname’s Four Main Social Assistance Programs\n## Elderly Allowance (AOV)\n## General Child Benefit (AKB)\n## Financial Assistance\n## Total Contribution of Transfers to Household Income\n# Do Social Assistance Programs Reach the Sociodemographic Groups Most in Need?\n## Coverage by Consumption Quintile\n## Coverage by Region\n## Coverage by Ethnic Group\n## Coverage by Level of Education\n## Coverage by Household Composition\n# Policy Simulations\n## Current Impact of Social Assistance on Poverty\n## Strongest Per Dollar Poverty Reduction Potential\n## Impact of Recent Increases in Transfer Amounts\n## Impact of New Program to Strengthen Household Purchasing Power\n# Recommendations\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What does Annex 3 assess about Suriname’s social protection system?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses how Suriname’s social protection system, through four main social assistance programs, reaches the poor and affects poverty and equity outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the annex estimate poverty would change without the four permanent programs?\",\"answer\":\"It indicates that in 2022, poverty would have been more than 1.5 percentage points higher without the four permanent social assistance programs.\"},{\"question\":\"Which groups face the biggest coverage gaps and why?\",\"answer\":\"Coverage is suboptimal for groups with the highest poverty rates—especially people in the interior, deprived ethnic groups, and those with low education—driven by demographic-focused targeting, outdated policy frameworks, and rudimentary delivery systems.\"}]","Assessment of Suriname’s Social Protection System -
