Appendix C presents information available in the ASPIRE database on the largest programs (in terms of beneficiary numbers) existing in 142 countries/economies/territories by aggregate program categories. Countries/economies/territories differ significantly in their number of operating social safety net (SSN) programs. In some cases, the number of programs might be fewer than 10–15 (as in Bolivia, Croatia, and Timor-Leste), whereas in high-number cases there might be more than 50 programs (as in Chile and Burkina Faso). Thus, for some more program-fragmented countries/economies/territories, appendix C does not show the full picture of coverage or versatility of programs and should be treated with caution.
