Social protection in the Cook Islands: A case study

Over 90 per cent of Cook Islanders benefit from the Government’s Social Protection system, which has helped reduce poverty across the country by over half since it was introduced in 1965. Our Partnerships for Social Protection (P4SP) researchers have reviewed how the Cook Islands’ Social Protection programs and policies have worked to achieve these impressive results.

This report is led by the p4SP team, based out of Development Pathways’ Australia Office, and funded by Australian Aid.
