“…Moving on, research on indigenous social protection systems known variously with terms like “informal” “traditional”, “community-based” and “non-state” systems – as the neglected half of formal social protection in Africa has only gained attention in recent years (Patel et al. , 2012; Dafuleya, 2018; Noyoo and Boon, 2018; Mokomane et al. , 2021).…”

“…Moving on, research on indigenous social protection systems known variously with terms like "informal" "traditional", "community-based" and "non-state" systemsas the neglected half of formal social protection in Africa has only gained attention in recent years (Patel et al, 2012;Dafuleya, 2018;Noyoo and Boon, 2018;Mokomane et al, 2021). For example, researchers and policy-makers from Southern and Western Africa assembled in 2016, at an International Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa and deliberated on the state of these indigenous systems, contending that they should constitute an important basis for the formulation of public policies in Africa.…”

PurposeThis paper illustrates how Guba and Lincoln's parallel criteria for establishing trustworthiness, can be adapted and applied to qualitative research on indigenous social protection systems. It provides insights for social protection researchers, exploring plausible qualitative research rigor evaluation criteria, on plausible alternatives.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on qualitative evidence from a larger ethnographic study on the dynamics of indigenous social protection systems in Nigeria. It illustrates the systematic application of Guba and Lincoln's parallel criteria.FindingsAvailable evidence from the study shows that Guba and Lincoln's parallel criteria is viable for establishing trustworthiness of qualitative research on indigenous social protection systems. The criteria can facilitate credible and reliable research outcomes in research on improving social protection policy and practice.Research limitations/implicationsQualitative inquiries that draw on Guba and Lincoln's parallel criteria as evaluation criteria for trustworthiness can complement quantitative research on social protection. This makes it imperative to incorporate both, in social protection research for a holistic system. How this can be done is beyond the scope of this paper but needs to be explored by future research.Originality/valueContrary to the use of Guba and Lincoln's parallel criteria in qualitative research in other contexts, the use of the criteria has not been carefully examined in qualitative research on indigenous social protection systems. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap.

This paper argues for the integration of informal social protection into social policy theory and practice through a comparative analysis of informal mechanisms in Pakistan and Nigeria. In developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa, where formal social protection coverage is limited, informal social protection plays a crucial role in addressing gaps in the welfare system. The findings not only contribute to a comprehensive understanding of welfare systems but also support for the cohesive integration of formal and informal social protection, providing evidence for policy improvements in developing and less developed countries.
