Abstract

This document presents costings for the cash transfers proposed as part of the National Policy on Social Protection and Promotion (Politique nationale de protection et de promotion sociales, PNPPS) in Haiti, adopted on 12 June 2020, which aims to sustainably roll back poverty, reduce inequalities and empower Haitian men and women. The exercise estimates the cost of 11 cash transfer mechanisms designed to address different situations (childhood, maternity, care work, old age, disability, shock situations and others) for different age groups and geographical areas, assuming a phase-in period from 2020 to 2030.
