Short description
SIAT has three components: a framework, an assessment questionnaire, and a spreadsheet-based model.
Purpose
The purpose of SIAT is to provide a framework and tools to help countries assess options for expanding social insurance coverage and make decisions about social insurance policies.
Methodology and type of data required
The framework is a guide to help users understand issues related to social insurance, assess their current system and consider options for change in the context of health reform. The assessment questionnaire helps to examine critical areas that must be considered in planning a social insurance system.
