  5. Dilemma in Nepal: how to get pensions to the people who need them, many of whom are illiterate? • Solution: Nepalese horoscopes used for documentation for universal pension scheme

  6. Things to bear in mind • There’s plenty of evidence for the developmental benefits of social transfers • This means that pilot schemes to demonstrate their effectiveness in terms of development may be unnecessary • Universal schemes tend to be more efficient than targeted ones - and Cap and Share is universal • The documentation process needs to be flexible. There isn’t one single blueprint that works everywhere

  7. More things to bear in mind • Broad political support is crucial • Technology can help a lot with security • Appeals process is important • Good communication with media is important • Single data registry helpful but not crucial • Above all…take existing programmes into account
