Again provide for compensation so as to give confidence (8)
I believe the answer is:
reassure
'again provide for compensation so' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'to give confidence' is the wordplay.
'to' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'give confidence' becomes 'assure' (I've seen this before).
're'+'assure'='REASSURE'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reassure that I've seen before include "Take away a person's doubts or fears" , "Comfort, convince again" , "Relieve (someone) of anxieties" , "Buoy up" , "Dispel misgivings" .)
