The recording of the side event "Universal social security and the social contract: A critical examination through case studies" is now online.

Case Studies Illustrate Harms from Austerity and Means-Testing Worldwide.

The CSO statement commend the Government of Mauritius for its decision to extend the country’s universal child benefit, known as the Contribution Sociale Généralisée (CSG) Child Allowance till June 2025. The extension of this scheme highlights Mauritius’ efforts to strengthen its universal social security system.

The CSO statement calls out the failures of World Bank and EU-backed means-tested social security that covers just 20% of the population, in a context where over 70% experience multidimensional poverty. The statement calls on the World Bank, IMF, international donors & the government to adopt a rights-aligned approach instead.

The GCSPF and the Social Security Campaign provided comments and inputs to the IDA21 Regional Forum for Europe and Central Asia. The Forum will take place on July 24, 2024.
