Abstract:The Seguro-Defeso is a contributory social security measure targeting artisanal fishers in Brazil. After almost 30 years since its enactment, an impact evaluation of the programme regarding the socioeconomic conditions of beneficiaries is currently under way. The purpose of this One Pager is to highlight key aspects of the programme’s legal framework, unveiling the implications for identifying the target population as well as programme implementation bottlenecks that are relevant for the impact evaluation.
