Assessment of the capacity of BSCAN through the Anticipatory Social Protection Index for Resilience (ASPIRE) tool
The Anticipatory Social Protection Index for Resilience (ASPIRE) tool will be applied to evaluate the readiness of relevant stakeholders, including LEDARS, the private sector, local government, NGOs, etc. The ASPIRE will capture (1) Policy framework, (2) Systems domain, (3) Organization domain, and (4) Organization function, which is depicted in the following domain matrix.
