- success:
- The Programme provided technical support and training leading to the adoption of legal frameworks that effectively expanded social protection coverage. For example, in Viet Nam, the governmental endorsement of the MPSAR and MPSIR paved the way to a better alignment of the country with Recommendation No. 202, which represents a positive impact in increasing access to adequate social protection to almost 1 million people. It also contributed to supporting the government’s social protection response to COVID-19, that provided financial assistance to 6.5 million households, including top-ups to existing programmes. In Malawi, the 2019 Universal Social Old Age Pension Bill targeted 600,000 people aged 65 and above, and the CUCI mitigated the adverse effects of COVID-19 to 378,000 vulnerable persons (95,000 households). In Zambia, the COVID-19 Emergency Cash Transfer Programme, supported by this initiative, potentially reached 120,000 households (13,900 households with persons with disabilities) with temporary cash transfers to vulnerable households. In Tanzania, the efforts in improving public works programmes and creating a more business friendly framework for small businesses and local communities to partake on governmental infrastructure investments represent a relevant step in changing attitudes regarding public investments.
- context:
- The Programme provided technical support and training leading to the adoption of legal frameworks that effectively expanded social protection coverage and increased coordination, including for workers in the informal economy.
- description:
- The adoption of integrated approaches to policies, strategies and legal frameworks for social protection contributes to the steady expansion of social protection systems (contributory and non-contributory schemes) and reduces fragmentation.
