Development Policy Review, 2002, vol. 20, issue 5, 637-656

Abstract: This article uses the World Bank’s conceptual framework to document the nature and scope of social protection policy and practice in Bolivia. It also assesses the manner in which social protection issues have been included in the Bolivian Government’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). This highlights limitations in the existing framework, and provides the opportunity to recommend a number of measures that would make it a more comprehensive component of the PRSP. This is a preliminary review of a highly complex subject, which merits considerable further attention.
