Improving the Quality of Intersectoral Social Protection in Chile

active

The development objective of Improving the Quality of Intersectoral Social Protection in Chile Project for Chile is to increase the inclusiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency of intersectoral social protection interventions. The Program for Results (PforR) Program aims to improve the quality of social protection in Chile by supporting selected activities within the broader and longer-term government program, while remaining independent of any specific administration. The government program is among the current administration’s priorities and is set out in the 2024 Public Account (Cuenta Pública)10 of the Ministry of Social Development and Family (MDSF). The Cuenta Pública outlines seven strategic objectives, five of which are relevant for the proposed project: (i) the design and implementation of the National Care and Support System; (ii) strengthening of inclusion in social policy; (iii) integration and articulation of social programs; (iv) modernization of digital management; and (v) implementation of the system of Guarantees for Children. The PforR is structured around three Results Areas (RAs): inclusiveness (RA1), effectiveness (RA2), and efficiency (RA3) that support MDSF efforts to improve the quality of the social protection system to better respond to vulnerable households and individuals.
