Social institutionality

Social institutionality encompasses the set of rules and organizational structure on (and with) which social policy is managed, from the diagnosis and prioritization of objectives to the implementation and evaluation of its results. Based on its four dimensions (legal-normative, organizational, technical-operational and financing), and considering the national, subnational, regional and international spheres, social institutionality generates the basic conditions for the success of public policy in general, and of social policies in particular. It therefore stands out as a central element for advancing the social dimension of sustainable development and the achievement of the goals of the 2030 Agenda and is also a priority axis of the Regional Agenda for Inclusive Social Development. Based on analytical experience, work with the countries and continuous systematization of information, the social institutional framework forms a strategic axis of work in the Social Development Division with a view to advancing towards quality public policies, a task that encompasses both a look at social policy as a whole and at selected thematic areas and population segments.
