The Elderly, People with Disabilities & Other Marginalized Groups
This project seeks to offer a comprehensive analysis of social protection schemes and identify gaps that exclude certain at-risk communities, focusing specifically on Papua, Indonesia’s poorest province.
This research seeks to better understand the welfare of the elderly and the existing social protection programs targeting the group.
The partnership between SMERU, as a knowledge producer, and UNICEF, which is focused on child rights advocacy, is expected to provide a stronger and more effective advocacy base for improving child well-being in Indonesia.
In general, this study is aimed at learning about the existence of social protection programs for the elderly and their implementation, notably those in the form of social assistance, in the 2019–2021 period.
