Policy Target
Stigma and discrimination in the access of benefits and services
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives review their programs and communication strategies that have unintentionally classified recipients into two groups: deserving or undeserving of taxpayer-funded cash support.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Assistance-seeking behaviour among all eligible groups (e.g., stratified by age, sex, gender, migration status)
- Number/percentage of eligible groups reporting fear of being stigmatized for assistance (e.g., stratified by age, sex, gender, migration status)
- Take-up rates of benefits and services according to degree of need
- Trends of unmet needs over time
- Rate of participation among those eligible to participate
