action_plan:

(1) A first structured funding dialogue has been organised during the development partners meeting in October 2021 in collaboration with PARDEV. Additional resource mobilization efforts have been done reaching out to specific donors (Canada, China, Germany, Belgium, ...), the development of thematic initiatives is under way for 16 thematic areas, new partnerships are explored and existing ones strengthened (UN collaboration, collaboration with IFIs, working with bilateral aid agencies such as Enabel). (2) Needs for technical support and TSF positions have been identified for each region. The RO for Africa launched its strategy for extending social protection and organised a funding dialogue to mobilize resources for social protection. (3) The development of workers and employers networks on SP in 3 - 4 pilot countries is part of the 2nd phase of the FP and will feed into the discussions of those networks at global level. (4) A JPO position on climate change and social protection has been mobilized. A JPO on Disability-inclusive social protection, Health protection and Long-term care has also been mobilized. Additional JPO positions have been proposed to donors (e.g., China). (5) A pooled funding arrangement has been created under the FP. Under this arrangement funding has been specifically allocated to the coordination, the M&E, communication and visibility of the FP. It is expected that additional contributions under this modality will further contribute to the financing of the management of the FP.

title:

The ILO should increase the sustainability of the Flagship Programme by leveraging on existing projects to develop larger and longer-term partnerships and by developing pooled funding mechanisms. The Programme should further engage donors and partners through structured funding dialogues and specific networks that need to be properly resourced to achieve results and impact. The ILO should continue promoting social protection floors and mobilizing resources to support countries improving coverage, adequacy and access, including by developing strategies focusing on specific technical areas or regions. The ILO should continue exploring options to strengthen the regional approach with technical expertise being available regionally, to be able to support projects on thematic areas, and facilitate the development and implementation of projects at country level. Stronger support and capacities should be provided to the Global Business Network and to the Social Protection, Freedom and Justice for Workers Network to enhance the added value of these initiatives at country level. The ILO should commit additional resources to the management of the Programme, for example by exploring the option to secure a JPO position to support Programme management; or by advocating with some donors a management and coordination levy on flagship projects for the Programme global services; or by reflecting some specific Programme management’s services and outputs on direct project costs.
