Social Protection and Child Wellbeing
Governments should agree on national visions for social protection that make medium and long-term ambitions clear to all. Without a clear vision across government ministries , key actors and the public social protection systems risk becoming fragmented and insufficiently funded with significant coverage gaps and too low benefit levels as a result. We need a shared vision and platform for the region to achieve inclusive comprehensive and adequate social protection for all.
