Deprivation, defined as the lack of access to resources to meet basic needs, is one of the persistent challenges of contemporary societies, intertwined with economic, social, and cultural dimensions, and structural and environmental factors contribute to its perpetuation. In Iran, despite extensive efforts in deprivation reduction, evidence indicates that policies in this area have not enjoyed adequate efficiency and effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the coherence of deprivation reduction policies in Iran and propose solutions for its improvement within the framework of public policymaking. The research employs a qualitative approach, combining two strategies: content analysis and thematic analysis. In the content analysis phase, relevant legal and policy documents from 1948 to 2024 were examined using Behardaj's model and four key indicators (institutional multiplicity, coverage of deprivation dimensions, legal contradictions, and alignment with higher-level documents). In the thematic analysis phase, data from semi-structured interviews with 15 experts in policymaking and deprivation reduction were analyzed based on Braun and Clarke's (2006) model. Findings reveal that deprivation reduction policies in Iran lack sufficient structural and functional coherence, with this incoherence identifiable at three levels: horizontal, vertical, and internal. Based on the results, policy solutions such as designating a single responsible institution, establishing a comprehensive database, redesigning the resource allocation system, and revising laws have been proposed. By emphasizing the necessity of enhancing coherence in deprivation reduction policies, this study provides an operational framework for improving the quality of policymaking and increasing the effectiveness of government interventions in this area.
