Training on Social Protection

Understand the concepts, definitions and types of social protection

About this Event

Social protection entails all public and private initiatives that provide income or consumption transfers to the poor, protect the vulnerable against livelihood risks and enhance the social status and rights of the marginalized with the overall objective of reducing the economic and social vulnerability.

Anchored on social protection are three components that include social assistance, social security and social health insurance through which the various actors channel social protection services to the citizens. Social protection goals come in two forms; short-term goals which are meant to mitigate the immediate impact of shocks and to smooth consumption and long-term goals which include improving opportunities for inclusive growth, human capital development, equity and social stability. Effective social protection systems are vital in fostering a more equitable, just, and inclusive society.

This course will update participants’ understanding on social protection issues by comprehensively covering different approaches to social protection, including design, implementation, challenges, current trends and how social protection overlaps with other policy sectors. Participants will have the opportunity to actively engage and share their own experiences and perspectives on social protection in different program contexts.
