With the roll out of social protection programmes to national scale, questions about implementation and delivery move more and more into the centre of debate (e.g. UNDP 2020; UNDP and UNCDF 2014; Kramon 2019). This concerns in particular the local level, where key processes of implementation are taking place, but where at the same time institutional, operational and financial capacities are often the weakest. While social protection programmes are usually based on a clearly defined set of operational rules and regulations – usually set out in a programme manual – in practice these processes often tend to look quite different. Although many social protection programmes have explicitly excluded traditional authorities from playing an active role in programme delivery, there is ample evidence from across countries that in many local contexts, these ‘informal institutions’ continue to play an important role in the delivery of social protection programmes.

Policy analysis is the cornerstone of evidence-based policy making.1 It identifies the problems, informs programme design, supports the monitoring of policy implementation and is needed to evaluate programme impacts (Scott 2005). Rigorous and credible policy evidence is necessary to ensure the transparency and accountability of policy decisions, to secure political and public support and, hence, the allocation of financial resources. Sound policy analysis helps design effective and efficient programmes, thereby maximizing programme impact.

Decisive elements of the vision of universal social protection are coverage for all people and all risks, rights-based access at any moment over the life course, and the provision of an adequate level of protection able to prevent poverty. Gaps worldwide are still large, and it is necessary to push reality progressively closer to this vision. With ILO Recommendation 202 (2012) on social protection floors governments and social partners from 187 countries committed to prioritize horizontal extension of essential guarantees: minimum income security over the life course and access to essential health care for all. They also agreed to then proceed further to a vertical extension of social protection to cover additional risks and provide higher levels of protection in a comprehensive and coherent system. This case study discusses whether Bolivia is moving towards this ambitious vision. A brief glance at the historical development of the Bolivian welfare state will disclose the enormous challenges that hinder progress towards a universal social protection system. Against this background the case study gives an overview of the major social protection reform efforts implemented between 2000 and 2019. It then addresses two key questions, namely if these reforms were able to achieve universal social protection floor coverage and whether the reform efforts envision a comprehensive and coherent social protection system that contributes to a more inclusive and equitable society.
