Sessional Paper No. 05 of 2012 on The National Social Protection Policy

Abstract

The Social Protection Policy is based on the following principles: leadership and integrity; good governance; evidence-based programming; gender mainstreaming (in other words, assessing the implications for both males and females of any planned action); equity and social justice; adherence to common standards; public participation; the adequacy, affordability, and sustainability of benefits; and flexibility and responsiveness to changing circumstances.
