guaranteeing social protection of vulnerable groups- the strategic objective under social assistance policy.
Audit scope: Audit scope:
organization of the activity for providing social and family allowances, integration supplements and
financial assistance for families with children.
planning of the activity
effective implementation of the activity
mechanism for monitoring and control the implementation of the activity
Indicators:
poverty line
relative share of the population living below the poverty line before and after the social transfers incl. all social and family allowances and integration supplements. at –risk- of- poverty rate and social exclusion.
Results
reports of the MLSP do not contain indicators for assessing the effect from the implemented measures and activities for the achievement of the objectives set in the strategic documents.
reason – the strategic planning of the activity assumes independent organization of the coordination, monitoring and control over the implementation of the strategic objectives and priorities and it is not directly related to the progress reporting with the sector medium-term and short - term documents.
Results
the emphasis in the planning of the financial resources guaranteeing social protection of the group is rather directed towards assessment of the possibilities than to needs assessment.
“balance” is achieved by the “Guaranteed minimum income” indicator and the introduction of an
income criterion which provides for the right of receiving some social and family assistance for children.
ResultsResults
Indicators for reporting under the programme “Assistance to families with children” are incomparable to each other -therefore a summarized assessment can not be made for the level of effectiveness achieved by the implementation of the social protection measures for families with children on the basis of the family benefits calculated and granted.
Recommendation:
to develop and publish a methodology defining and assessing the studied indicators in order to measure and evaluate the extent of implementation of the planned objectives in the field of social policy.

1,06 per cent from the GDP – 2010 1,04 per cent from the GDP – 2013 9,04 per cent from the expenditures approved under the republican budget for 2010 and9,84 per cent – 2013

391,6 thousand pers – in 2010 345,6 thousand pers – in 2011 414,6 thousand pers - in 2012
research of the dynamics and trends shows that by 2020 the Republic of Bulgaria will achieve the strategic objective for reducing the number of people living in poverty by 260 thousand, if the rate of persons living below the poverty line remains the same.
