The IPC-IG has partnered with the UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia and its respective Country Offices to develop a series of comparative papers on social protection in the region, covering social expenditure, legal frameworks, design of flagship national non-contributory social protection programmes—including their child- and gender-sensitive features— the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis and the social protection responses deployed, and findings from quasi-experimental impact evaluations. Further, One Pagers (short publications of 900 words) were produced, summarizing each of the comparative reports, as well as country-specific One Pagers for assembling country-level key findings in a same publication. In an effort to increase the dissemination of the knowledge produced, Executive Summaries and One Pagers have been translated to Portuguese. The One Pagers included in this assignment are the prodicts remaining to be translated.
