challenges:

The establishment of the same targets in all beneficiary countries does not allow the targets to be adapted to the specific realities of the countries. Thus, the targets set do not match the capacities of the beneficiary countries to meet the targets.

success:

The establishment of differentiated targets (i.e. with differentiated degrees of demand depending on the stage of development of the social protection systems and the respective baseline), taking into consideration participatory processes with the beneficiary countries, allows for an improvement in the appropriateness of the targets, as well as a more incisive monitoring of progress through the Project.

context:

The Project acknowledged that beneficiary countries have idiosyncratic realities, with social protection systems at different stages of development. However, it did not establish differentiated targets for countries in its results framework.

description:

In the context of beneficiary countries at different stages of sector development, as well as with different levels of political commitment, the establishment of differentiated annual targets is relevant so as to enable all beneficiaries to achieve tangible results.
