- Social protection
- category:
- Social Protection
- comments:
- Trade unions, CSOs, individual citizens usually in rural areas, municipal officials, individual members of parliament.
- challenges:
- SP&PFM worked with the GCSPF and its partners to build capacity and to support in public education campaigns. The main challenge is for these partners to find the resources that will let them advocate to a similar level as they did under SP&PFM.
- success:
- In the four countries, well over one million individuals were made aware of their social protection rights. In addition, government officials, other CSOs and members of parliament were sensitised on SP issues and will be able to further advocate for social protection.
- context:
- In all four countries where the GCSPF was a partner, there was a greater amount of effective advocacy done at the grass-roots level. This complemented the work done by ILO and UNICEF who advocated on policy with senior civil servants.
- description:
- The effectiveness of SP&PFM was significantly enhanced by the involvement of the Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors (GCSPF) as an Implementing Partner. Evidence showed a clear added value of using a third party to work at grass-roots level to initiate a bottom-up approach to advocacy, giving a sense of ownership of the process to communities.
- administrative_issues:
- There was an added administrative burden for ILO in having a third organisation that needed to present financial and project documents necessary for EU reporting purposes. The fact that reports from individual countries were centralised at GCSPF was a positive aspect for ILO.
