The objective is to assess both programme design and implementation mechanisms and interrogate to what extent the social protection allowance has been implemented as intended, programmatic relevance, effectiveness, sustainability, preferences and satisfaction of intended beneficiaries, and what adjustments are required for future implementation covering: 1) the newborn allowance, 2) child benefit (including disability), 3) old-age pension, 4) infirm and destitute benefit and 5) caregiver’s allowance to
• Analyse the extent to which they achieved desired results across the cash transfer modalities.
• Review the design, partnerships, coordination, and the monitoring system in place for effective delivery of the programme
• Identify lessons learnt from the Cook Island experience that could be useful for other Pacific Countries
The primary audience includes policymakers in their capacity to define future policy discretion regarding social protection in Cook Is and Ministry of Internal Affairs, Department of Social Welfare and it's capacity as the implementing agency for the programmes, Ministry of Finance & Economic Development as the budget authority responsible for allocating resources to the programme.
