Résumé

The Social Safety Net Policy Framework is a comprehensive social protection policy with a national coverage in Grenada. It will be implemented during the 2013-2017 period. The Policy seeks to guarantee all citizens access to basic services, and provide additional support to those who face special challenges in meeting their fundamental needs. The main type of programmes covered by the Policy include: cash transfers targeted to the elderly, school children, indigent poor and disabled poor (and one off payments for specific emergencies); food-based programmes (school feeding programmes and food security provisions); price subsidies for food, electricity, and public transport; active labour market programmes including public works schemes; waivers and exemptions for health care costs, schooling costs and utilities; community development programmes; social care services; and housing, water and sanitation services.
