PILLAR 1: PROGRAMME
OPERATIONS AND
FUNCTIONS
At the programme level, programme
management information systems (MISs)
support each programme
implementation phases along the social
protection delivery chain.
Countries offering a variety of social

may not be relevant for some
programmes with no conditionality do not
monitor compliance.
