Safety nets, generally implementation

A few exceptions to the general lack of information are Bose, Holman, and Neanidis (2004) and Coadyand Harris (2004). Chu and Gupta(1998b) report the example of safety net implementation accompanied by tax reform to finance it. 

The decision as to which programs to scale up should be made based on a quick assessment of three criteria Which are good or best (according to the criteria used throughout this book and explained in full in chapter 9) Which have administrative capacity for a quick scale up Which have sources of funding amenable to a quick scale up Often an adequate short-term response will require compromises in relation to targeting accuracy and the quality of implementation, and will in general be less concerned with incentive compatibility and sustainability than will the core elements of safety nets in more stable times.
