Abstract

In response to research-based recommendations, Egypt’s Ministry of Social Solidarity made several changes to the Takaful and Karama cash transfer program: the targeting methodology was adjusted to reach more beneficiaries, the public communications around the program was improved, and expanded collaboration with other ministries turned Takaful and Karama into the centre-piece of a new national social protection system.
