Social protection for the forcibly displaced in low- and middle-income countries: A pathway for inclusion

Oecd and Eba

No 43, OECD Development Policy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This paper provides the first overview of efforts by low- and middle-income countries to extend the coverage of national social protection systems to the forcibly displaced persons they host. It presents a baseline of de jure (legal) and estimated de facto (actual) coverage in 12 countries; analyses the conditions enabling access to social protection by the forcibly displaced; draws lessons from Iraq, Sudan and Uganda in terms of challenges and successes; and offers guidance to major stakeholders on extending social protection initiatives to forcibly displaced persons. Ce document donne un premier aperçu des efforts déployés par les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire pour étendre la couverture des systèmes nationaux de protection sociale aux personnes, déplacées de force, qu'ils accueillent. Il présente un état des lieux de la couverture de jure (légale) et de facto estimée (réelle) dans douze pays, analyse les conditions d'accès à la protection sociale pour ces populations, tire des enseignements des expériences en Irak, en Ouganda et au Soudan, et fait des recommandations pour l’action publique.
