Chapter 9 proposes policy solutions to help improve Dibao’s performance and suggests future research directions. With regard to Dibao’s policy design, improvements can be made to set higher assistance standards, raise benefit levels, broaden its population coverage, and revise its very stigmatizing means-testing procedures. Dibao’s implementation can be improved by offering more public education on Dibao, building a more professional team of administrators, and greater involvement in and collaboration with the non-governmental sector. Dibao’s performance can also be improved by better coordination with other social welfare programs and fit within the broader social benefit system. The monitoring and evaluation of Dibao can benefit from more rigorous, better coordinated, longitudinal research studies examining multidimensional outcomes and joint efforts by interdisciplinary scholars, government officials, and international organizations.Less
