Lesson
In-depth review of each social welfare program effectiveness is needed for consolidation and possible termination. The review could assess whether the targeting mechanisms adopted have ensured that the benefits go to the poor and vulnerable population or misused. Social welfare spillovers could result in suboptimal outcomes. Otherwise, a more sophisticated targeting approach could be undertaken.

Lesson
Outcome could have been extended for a longer period than just one year, with stronger monitoring and evaluation (M&E) required. The program outcome was to maintain social welfare expenditure at least at MNT339 billion in 2017. A 1-year time horizon was too short. Even though social welfare expenditures increased in the following years, a 5-year time horizon may have been more appropriate to encourage sustainability. Furthermore, a stronger M&E system is required for social welfare programs since output 2 focused on improving their targeting.
