- Although not an easy task in practical terms, linking contributive and non-contributive realms is necessary and justified. During the beginning stages of the STEP Project, there was no conscience among national institutions regarding the importance of linking non-contributive and contributive social security. The countries still face considerable problems in this area. Accordingly, more efforts from technical cooperation and Project implementers are needed to support the countries in tackling this issue. A specific lesson learned is that working with linking processes on practical issues is difficult (especially with administrative processes like exchanging data between the INPS and the CNPS). Although progresses were achieved in this area, they were not easy, as it took a good deal of effort to convince the different stakeholders on the need and the favorable impact that linking could have. Needless to say, the clear integration of contributive and non-contributive (horizontal vs. vertical) approaches with emphasis on social protection floors- in developing countries is indispensable
