Social protection and coordination in Dominican Republic and

Overview

In the Dominican Republic, government initiatives have focused on strengthening social protection and inter-institutional coordination. Early efforts included coordinating responses to gender-based violence through the interoperability of the 9-1-1 emergency system and the Ministry of Women’s ‘212 emergency line’. Additionally, agreements were signed to enhance substance abuse prevention and reintegration for vulnerable communities.

Subsequent efforts by the Social Policy Coordination Cabinet aimed to integrate services for various vulnerable groups, including the elderly, children, adolescents, and persons with disabilities. The coordination involves multiple entities, such as the National Council for Children and Adolescents (CONANI) and the National Council for Disability (CONADIS), with a focus on improving information exchange and preventing the duplication of social programs.

In Ecuador, the government launched the Intersectoral Policy for the Comprehensive Approach to Adolescent Pregnancy 2026-2035, a long-term initiative designed to coordinate health, education, and labor ministries to address high pregnancy rates among minors.
