“…These results have implications regarding social protection policies. First, our results suggest that it would be useful to continue enhancing the capacity of institutions and public authorities, as they are the backbone of the delivery of social protection programmes (Coll‐Black, Monchuk and Standford, 2018). This should not only be limited to the provision of technical support, for example to administrators who are expected to execute the social protection policies and to initiate reforms, but also to improve on existing legal frameworks, accountability, transparency, effectiveness, efficiency, coordination, equity, inclusiveness, participation and consensus at central and decentralized level (Vinci and Roelen, 2020).…”

This article analyses whether and to what extent social protection expenditure varies with institutional quality and people's preferences using cross-section and cross-country panel data. It uses data on expenditure taken from the International Labour Office database focusing on 52 low-and middle-income countries and on 80 high-, lowand middle-income countries. The results show that both factors have an impact for the group of low-and middle-income countries, but also for all the countries in the sample. The estimates are robust to different definitions of the dependent variables and different measures for the quality of institutions. Our results suggest that it is worthwhile to continue enhancing the capacity of institutions and public authorities as well as to channel people's preferences on social protection interventions into the planning and budgeting process where the decisions on social protection programmes are taken and resources allocated.

“…First, we understand the institutions that support social protection programmes to refer to the organizations influencing the design, implementation and management of these interventions (Coll‐Black, Monchuk and Standford, ). In this article, the terms “quality of institutions” or “performance of institutions” are used to capture organizations’ functioning and effectiveness (Rueschemeyer and Evans, ).…”

“…Collaboration between service providers, such as DAs, HEWs, SWs and the kebele manager (KM), is crucial for the delivery of the PSNP. These “local frontline workers” are responsible to oversee, coordinate, manage and deliver social protection interventions (Coll‐Black, Monchuk and Standford, , p. 184). Therefore, they can affect the overall implementation of the social protection intervention.…”

The effective implementation of social protection interventions is key for achieving positive change. The existing literature mainly focuses on issues related to programme design and impact, rather than the factors that influence the emergence, expansion and provision of these programmes. This article builds on the recent literature that indicates that the quality of institutions and people's preferences play an important role in the implementation of social protection. It does so by using Ethiopia and its Productive Safety Net Programmeone of the largest social protection programmes in sub-Saharan Africaas a case study, thereby contributing to debates on how to implement social protection more effectively, particularly in settings of widespread poverty and relatively low levels of institutional capacity. Based on primary qualitative data, the article finds that greater institutional quality at the local level is associated with the more effective provision of social protection. The ability of community members and

“…The term "institutions" is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "organisations" (Abah, 2012) and scholars have viewed the organisations, their structures and procedures, as institutions which are responsible to exercise the governance over economic activities (Williamson, 1975(Williamson, , 1985. Institutions and organisations provide public services and support social protection programmes, influencing the design, the implementation and the management of these interventions (Coll-Black, Monchuk, & Standford, 2018) both at central and decentralized level. It is also important to highlight that the level of decentralisation of a country may affect how institutions exercise their governance.…”
