The 2022 edition of the Annual Digest of Social Protection Reforms in the Arab Region represents a novel effort undertaken by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia to monitor, record and summarize the
ongoing social protection reforms in the region. It aims to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, such as policymakers and policy implementers, civil society organizations, researchers, and development partners. The Annual Digest of Social Protection Reforms in the Arab Region will not only serve as a knowledge base to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and inspire policymakers but will also shed light on key trends in social protection reforms for researchers and practitioners.
The digest begins by illustrating its methodology, particularly the innovative triangulation approach to monitoring policy reform announcements. It then provides an overview of key statistics and trends in social protection developments observed across the Arab region in 2022. The digest’s main section presents an overview of the most important contributory and non-contributory reforms and policy changes, as announced in publicly available sources for each Arab country.
