Abstract
The various activities undertaken by the Bangladesh Government include
widening coverage of the social safety nets to protect the poor and new poor due to
COVID-19 pandemic. Despite such an increase in social protection coverage and
spending amid COVID-19, many of the poor are still excluded due to the lack of a
social registry and proper implementation and distribution strategies. This study aims to
critically scrutinize the Bangladesh government’s support under the umbrella of social
protection during COVID-19 in order to assess the social justice agenda based on a
systematic inquiry to look at the secondary data. It also tries and identifies the
drawbacks, which are rooted in the existing social protection framework, associated
with the planning, designing, programming, and delivery of the various social
protection programs and projects in order to ensure social justice from the rights,
governance, distribution, and access perspectives. More specifically, the scoping study
would help highlight the caveats of Bangladesh’s social protection during the pandemic
and identify the scope of future research and policy actions to mitigate the potential
impacts of future shocks on the livelihoods of the poor, marginalized, and impoverished
people through constructing a comprehensive and dynamic social protection system.
