The map refers to social assistance programmes run by governments (many with assistance from development partners) that remain in operation as of 2010-2020. Programmes run purely by NGOs or other non-state actors without government involvement are excluded. Pilot programmes are included. The designations employed and the presentation of material on the maps, or any other information displayed in the visuals on this platform do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations or UNDP concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
