Work to build the financing tool into an ISPA tool will continue in 2024-25.

action_plan:

Five webinars and two more technical sessions were organised through end of 2022 and 2023 to share the knowledge products and tools of the project, in addition to the dissemination of lessons learnt briefs and knowledge products through the monthly newsletters distributed to over 5,000 contacts (thematic webinars and briefs: gender, disability, shock-responsive, extension to informal economy, SP and PFM). All products are available on the SP&PFM project website. In addition, the ILO and EC-INTPA organized a meeting to disseminate the Transparency and Accountability of Social Protection Resources (TASPR) (“Paraguay PFM assessment tool”) among the EU Delegations on 7 November 2023. In addition, an email was sent to all EU Delegations on 22 November 2023. The use of the tool is being explored in Benin and Senegal. A webinar with the implementing partners, EU Delegations, and experts was organized to present the findings of the research on the use of big-data to improve shock-responsiveness of social protection systems on 24 August 2023. The tool on estimating fiscal space and financing options will be piloted in two countries and developed into an Inter-Agency Social Protection Assessment (ISPA) tool in 2024 which will enable its mainstreaming for use by UN agencies in their support to countries. Both the TASPR and financing tool will be used, when relevant, by the pathfinder countries of the Global Accelerator for Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions. Lessons learnt from supporting the extension of social protection to workers in the informal economy were documented in a policy brief and shared in a large webinar organised with the USP2030 in May 2023.

The EU and IPs should review knowledge outcomes at a global level and also those at a national level which may be transferable (e.g. the Paraguay PFM assessment system, Zambian informal sector program, Cambodia DMIS) to ensure that they are integrated into their future work.
