The present toolkit on coordinating the design and implementation of social protection floors includes:

• A common definition of coordination in the field of social protection, and a common understanding of its importance;
• A methodology to assess the level of coordination in a country;
• Potential entry points for UNCTs to support governments and other stakeholders in coordinating the development and implementation of social protection floors; and
• The identification of good practices to ensure the development and delivery of coordinated social protection floors.

The toolkit is structured to delineate the various levels of coordination that exist (horizontal coordination at the policy level, vertical coordination, and horizontal coordination at the operational level), outline a practical assessment methodology for users to apply in various country contexts to determine the level of coordination that exists and that is needed, and provide concrete experiences from countries that illustrate ways to improve coordination in social protection.
