Strengthening social protection payment delivery systems can promote broader financial inclusion goals, allowing poor and vulnerable populations to save, borrow, and better plan consumption and investment decisions. In this way, social protection can be an effective tool not just to reduce poverty and build resilience, but also to promote economic empowerment and social inclusion. This requires expanding IT solutions, digital payment options, and financial literacy training for program beneficiaries.

Ensuring that an acceptable cost-sharing arrangement is in place at the outset, prior to project launch, can help minimize project risks. The rural infrastructure component comprising 80% of total actual project cost was not achieved largely as the LGUs were unable to raise the required counterpart contributions. Moreover, it is essential that appropriate due diligence and risk assessment are undertaken and that risk mitigation measures concerning the financial capability of participating local governments are identified at the outset.
