MNREGA – the largest public works programme in the world – completed 10 years this month. In this article, Inayat Anaita Sabhikhi, Project Officer, United Nations Development Programme, at the Ministry of Rural Development, summarises evidence on MNREGA from four recent reports of international and national organisations. She contends that MNREGA’s high global rankings among social security programmes and the positive evidence on its impact should boost efforts to strengthen its implementation.

The dominant discourse on government expenditure on social security is characterised at best, by scepticism regarding its effectiveness, and at worst, by a rejection of its requirement. However, evidence from the rich body of research and analysis around the impact of social security continues to offer positive insights. In this article, I attempt to highlight evidence from four recent reports: The State of Social Security Nets (2015)  by the World Bank, Human Development Report 2015 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and two reports on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) by the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER) and the UNDP.
