Current levels of social protection spending
Research has shown that Government social protection and overall expenditure on the social sector is not
easy to identify as financing of social protection is not centralized under one budget line. It is allocated in
the budget lines of the implementing agencies. Therefore, these figures are likely to be minimal amounts
as there are likely to be social protection elements in the budget document that have not been able to be
identified10.
