Spain has a high share of the working age population at risk of poverty or social exclusion and a high incidence of child poverty. While Spain has introduced a minimum income at the national level, social inclusion policies are the responsibility of the regions. At present, the coverage of the minimum income remains low and there are many differences in the design and implementation of social inclusion policies across regions, especially as a number of regions do not develop social inclusion strategies. There is also a lack of a multidimensional approach to social inclusion. This report develops options for new inclusion models that address current challenges and help formulate a coherent inclusion strategy. It also sets out a blueprint for developing a monitoring and evaluation framework. The recommendations aim to increase the effectiveness of minimum income policies and strengthen the co-ordination between social services, employment, health and housing.
An improved monitoring and evaluation framework for social inclusion in Spain
This chapter discusses the advantages of developing a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for Spain’s new social inclusion model for the beneficiaries of the national minimum income scheme (Ingreso Mínimo Vital, IMV). The chapter outlines a high-level framework and examines the human resources necessary for conducting M&E, both in terms of staff requirements and the use of external resources. It also discusses the data requirements. Ideally, the framework should be developed and implemented in co‑operation with relevant stakeholders. The chapter also provides specific examples for implementation regarding both the national-level framework and regional-level pilots.
