This chapter looks at the institutional framework of the region’s social policies by examining government agencies such as ministries, secretariats and coordination cabinets, whose fundamental responsibilities are to design and implement anti-poverty and social development strategies in the countries. To that end, analytical dimensions are proposed as a basis for furthering the study of the institutional framework of social policies. The chapter focuses particularly on social protection and describes how this has evolved over the last few decades. It also discusses the institutional challenges involved in: ensuring that universal rights are upheld; addressing the specific problems and needs of various segments of the population; and fulfilling the social development commitments made by the different countries.
