This indicator highlights the proportion of the most disadvantaged segment of the population that engages with various social safety net initiatives aimed at poverty alleviation. It encompasses a wide array of support mechanisms, including cash transfer programs, non-contributory pensions, conditional stipends for families, and an assortment of in-kind food provisions such as vouchers and rations. Additionally, the indicator reflects participation in educational assistance initiatives, healthcare subsidies, and community-based public works schemes, which are vital for enhancing economic resilience. By capturing both the direct participants and those who benefit indirectly, this measure provides crucial insights into the effectiveness and reach of social safety nets in mitigating poverty and fostering social equity among vulnerable populations.
