CONTEXT

The 2030 Agenda (SDG 1.3) outlines a clear commitment to “implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and vulnerable”. But with only six years to 2030, less than half the global population have access to social protection.  Fewer than 1 in 10 children in low-income countries have access to child benefits, a figure which is 10 times lower than for those living in high-income countries.

We are failing.

Please join us for the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference side event Why universal social protection is essential for inclusive development, peace and security in the present and future. Participants will discuss how the Pact for the Future can focus more on expanding social protection coverage and its financing; and develop concrete proposals for the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference, the Summit of the Future in September 2024 at the UN Headquarters in New York and the Second World Summit For Social Development 2025.

CO-ORGANISERS

Save the Children International, Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors (GCSPF), Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP), UNANIMA International, Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), International Presentation Association (IPA) and Building Blocks for Peace Foundation.

Civil Society Call for a Global Fund for Social Protection

Civil society organizations and trade unions unite to call for a Global Fund for Social Protection to protect the most vulnerable.

Social Security for All

Civil society organizations and trade unions call governments and international financial institutions to make a commitment to create social security systems that enable everyone to realize their rights. Governments and financial institutions should end policies that have been failing millions of people.

SP&PFM Programme

The programme Improving Synergies Between Social Protection and Public Finance Management provided medium-term support to multiple countries aiming to strengthen their social protection systems at a national level and ensure sustainable financing. The programme aimed to support countries in their efforts towards achieving universal social protection coverage.
This initiative was implemented jointly by the ILO, Unicef, and the GCSPF.
