Background • Social Protection Coordination Group established to facilitate regular government – donor dialogue and information sharing within social protection sector. • Donor sector mapping exercise will seek to provide an up to date and easily accessible picture of all external assistance provided to the sector by the donor community, through various channels (GoM, NGOs, MSIF).

Purpose • Purpose: (i) provide a basis for enhanced donor coordination; (ii) reduce overlaps and duplications; (iii) facilitate partnership building • Establish what has been achieved; what work is currently in progress; and what the future plans are for donor support in the social protection sector. • Enable a simple monitoring system of external assistance that can be easily updated on a regular basis.
Scope and approach • Scope and approach: draw on already existing information through various sources: Ministry, the National Coordination Unit for Technical Assistance, and the donor community. • Past, ongoing, and future planned donor support to the social protection sector, whether channelled through GoM, NGOs, MSIF. • Questionnaire (donors and NGOs) – project information; objective and focus areas; dialogue, constraints, lessons learnt, future plans for engagement in the social protection sector.
