SERVICES PROVIDED BY STRATEGY & ECONOMICS
The focus of our work was on reforming the existing subsidy system which entailed improving the effectiveness of targeting the poorer segments of the population, improving the efficiency of the subsidy delivery system and seeking ways to make the mechanism “smarter” in terms of the incentives provided to the scheme’s beneficiaries as well as the private sector.
