Project on linkages between statutory social security schemes and community-based social protection mechanisms
ILO/ISSA/AIM Guidelines
Summary (French)
This document sets out the guidelines for expert consultants to conduct a study on linkages in 10 countries where extension of social protection is needed. The study is the first step in an ILO/ISSA/AIM initiative to investigate the potential for and existing practices in linkages between statutory social security schemes and community based social protection mechanisms. The rationale for the study is to define and locate the expected value added by cooperation and linkages between the two types of institutions.
The key question to be answered by the study is: ″what linkages exist in the countries under analysis and what are the experiences with these linkages″. The study is limited to maternity and the risk of ill-health.
