Advantages of SP Module in HIES

Provide direct estimates of number of beneficiaries and amount of transfers validate government estimates Single agency responsible ease of data compilation Poverty status of beneficiaries can be readily determined measure accuracy of program targeting

Advantages of SP Module in HIES

Provide empirical support for data-intensive research analyses: - Gender sensitivity of SP programs - Undercoverage and Leakage Rate
- SP Program Generosity - Overlap of SP programs - Impact of SP programs to Poverty and Inequality

What are the issues to be considered?

Data collection takes about 2 hrs per household How to streamline questions in the additional SP module?
Desired level of reliability of estimates Do NSOs have resources to increase sample size?

Conclusions
A social protection module in the HIES provides an alternative and good source of data for analyzing social protection.
Cross-sectional analysis (urban/rural; poor/non poor; reduction in poverty gap, average transfers) Contributes to better imputation of SPI (admin data) Better support for policy analysis and monitoring.
