People with disabilities (PWDs) represent a disproportionately high proportion of the world's poor. Recognising the reciprocal relationship between disability and poverty, leading to increased vulnerability and social exclusion, disability has been flagged as a key development issue in meeting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and in eradicating world poverty. As a consequence, PWDs are increasingly being mainstreamed into government social protection programmes in low- and middle-income countries. However, there has been little evaluation of the effectiveness of these programmes with respect to PWDs. This represents a considerable gap in knowledge with which to inform policy makers, and maximise programme impacts to improve the lives of PWDs. This research evaluates the effectiveness of two government social protection programmes for PWDs in Vietnam, including a cash transfer programme and a free health insurance programme. Vietnam provides an excellent case study due to the combination of high quality living standards data, that includes the latest international classification of disability, and a relatively advanced legal and administrative framework for the social protection of PWDs. Rigorous quantitative analysis of national household survey data will be combined with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders from Government, Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs), and PWDs and their families, to evaluate the effectiveness of programmes in targeting PWDs and in providing financial protection against poverty. The findings from the research will be discussed and disseminated through a series of workshops involving key stakeholders in Vietnam. This extensive user engagement strategy is aimed at making the research disability-inclusive and coordinating discussion on how to best target disability within government social protection programmes. This research will draw important policy lessons and recommendations for other LMCs that are attempting to make social protection programmes inclusive of disability.

残疾人在世界穷人中所占比例过高。由于认识到残疾与贫穷之间的相互关系，导致脆弱性和社会排斥加剧，残疾问题已被列为实现联合国千年发展目标和消除世界贫穷的一个关键发展问题。因此，残疾人越来越多地被纳入中低收入国家政府社会保障方案的主流。然而，很少对这些方案在残疾人方面的有效性进行评估。这表明在为决策者提供信息和最大限度地发挥方案影响以改善残疾人生活方面存在着相当大的知识差距。这项研究评估了越南政府为残疾人提供的两项社会保障计划的有效性，包括现金转移计划和免费医疗保险计划。越南提供了一个很好的案例研究，因为它结合了高质量的生活水平数据，包括最新的国际残疾分类，以及相对先进的残疾人社会保障法律的和行政框架。将对全国住户调查数据进行严格的定量分析，并与来自政府、残疾人组织、残疾人及其家庭的主要利益攸关方进行定性访谈和重点小组讨论，以评估针对残疾人的方案和提供财政保护以消除贫困的方案的有效性。研究结果将通过一系列涉及越南主要利益相关者的研讨会进行讨论和传播。这一广泛的用户参与战略旨在使研究包容残疾问题，并协调关于如何在政府社会保障方案中最好地针对残疾问题的讨论。这项研究将为其他试图将残疾问题纳入社会保障方案的地方管理委员会汲取重要的政策教训和建议。
