The development of the 3rd phase of the Flagship Programme, which will take place in 2025, will be an opportunity to revise the priority countries and to review the relevance of some of the thematic areas. Some of the thematic areas that have not yet shown significant impact may however be very strategic to keep in the next phase. The Office concurs that strong national social protection systems, supported by the GFP, are the foundation needed for the GA to develop its interventions, and therefore strengthened coordination between the two is needed. See Action Plan for Recommendation 1 regarding the coordination of the GFP and GA.

title:

Recommendation 3: Expand the number of GFP countries while reducing thematic areas of the GFP and consolidating with the Global Accelerator thematic areas. While the support proposed by the Global Accelerator is based on strong national social protection institutions – which are strengthened by the GFP’s, efforts to find the best combinations and synergies between the two need to be continued. This should start by the conduction of strategic assessments: perform a comprehensive analysis to identify countries with the greatest need for social protection support and the potential to benefit from the GFP; prioritize countries based on criteria such as current social protection coverage, government commitment, and potential for impactful partnerships. On the other hand, streamline thematic areas by reducing the number of thematic areas by consolidating overlapping themes and/or by combining thematic areas. Also, focus on core thematic areas that have shown the most significant impact, such as universal social protection, gender-responsive social protection, or support for informal economy workers. Increased alignment with the Global Accelerator thematic areas should ensure more effectiveness and efficiency. Moreover, establish a clear framework for collaboration between the GFP and Global Accelerator, avoiding duplication and ensuring resource efficiency, taking into consideration that some thematic areas such as social health protection, unemployment insurance, or digital social protection cannot be fully absorbed under the Global Accelerator. Expected outcomes are expanded reach of the GFP to more countries in need, enhancing global social protection coverage; more focused and impactful thematic areas, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of interventions; and better alignment and coordination between the GFP and the Global Accelerator, ensuring streamlined efforts and optimized resource use.
