Relevance of the guide
• It is a resource package for conducting the ABND, which is
the first step in the design and implementation of national
social protection floors
• Developed by practitioners for practitioners, based on real
ABND exercises in Asia
• Tested through several workshops in Asia and used for
starting new ABND exercises
• Progressively enriched by experiences of countries
Limitations of the guide
• Provides tools and methods for an initial design and cost
estimate of policy options
 Once the policy options are validated, comprehensive
design studies have to be conducted, including analysis
of stakeholders’ views, actuarial assessments, legal
reviews, etc.
• No magic formula: needs to be tailored to the national
context and the participants
