action_plan:

(1) The strategy of the 2nd phase of the FP has been consulted with constituents and the ILO SP GTT. This has enabled a clarification of the thematic and geographical scope of the programme through identifying 50 priority countries and 16 thematic areas. (2) The ownership of the FP across the GTT is strengthened through the extension of the FP management team which now includes regional specialists. Regular meetings are organised on different management topics. They are complemented by capacity building sessions articulated around the thematic areas and open to the whole GTT. (3) Evidence-based communication has been identified as one of the workstreams for the FP management. The RMT, country pages, and thematic pages will provide the basis for developing evidence on results and impact, and the application of relevant social security standards, while emphasizing key policy messages and sharing information. (4) The Follow-up to the Resolution concerning the recurrent discussion on the strategic objective of social protection (social security) GB.343/INS/3/1 endorsed by the GB in November 2021 identifies the central role of the Flagship Programme in the implementation of the Plan of Action 2021-2026 to give effect to the Resolution and Conclusions. (5) The ratification campaign of C102 is part of the Programme’s strategy for the 2nd phase and will be implemented as part of the thematic streams of work on “rights based social protection” and “culture of social protection” which are already supported by several projects. (6) During the FP Development Partners meeting in October 2021, a structured funding dialogue on priority streams of work (achieving USP, financing social protection, and resilient social protection) allowed mutual exchanges between the ILO and partners on the strategy, results and impact of the FP in several countries. GTAC and DP meetings will be organized regularly during the 2nd phase of the Programme. (7) The development of a six-monthly 2 page update as well as a results dash board will be considered.

title:

The ILO needs to increase understanding of the Flagship Programme and improving ownership among ILO staff and constituents. Communication should be strengthened on policy directions and concrete Programme results. The thematic and geographic scopes of the Programme should be clarified. Linkages between the overarching Programme and country and thematic projects should be refined. ILO should also better explain the contribution of the Flagship Programme to the ILC conclusions on social security, and to the ILO Programme and Budget and Agenda 2030. The ILO should further clarify the scope and perimeter of the Programme and enhance its visibility and branding, including by developing, resourcing, and implementing a communication strategy that provides GTT members with additional instruments to advocate for social protection floors at country level. In alignment with the ILC conclusions, the Programme should systematically promote the ILO social security standards and support the launch of a global ratification campaign for C102, in partnership with other UN organizations. The Programme should develop and regularly update communication materials in order to raise the visibility of social protection including at country level and to reflect the status of the ILC conclusions. The ILO should also consider organizing more regular meetings of the GTAC (perhaps virtual) and disseminating to the GTT, GTAC, and the Donors and Partners Group a quarterly 2-pager dashboard update that presents impact level results of the Programme.
