Abstract

The National Social Protection Strategy and Plan of Action was prepared by the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis to establish the main priorities for social protection policy making and reform over the period 2013-2017; and to guide the establishment of a sustainable, comprehensive and integrated social protection system for Saint Kitts and Nevis. This encompasses the strengthening and integration of a wide range of policies and programmes across the social sector including social safety nets, social welfare services, social insurance and labour market policies. The first phase of the Strategy and Plan will focus on consolidating and strengthening the social safety net, in order to ensure that resources targeted to reach the poorest and most vulnerable have the intended impact.
