Seeds of Change: Catalysing Zero Hunger through Innovative Social Protection in Fragile and Least Developed Countries

This paper explores the potential pivotal role of social protection systems to enhance access to food, nutrition, and essential needs to combat intersecting inequalities, poverty, and hunger, aligning with the T20’s Task Force 1. By leveraging insights from the global South, where social protection has demonstrated substantial contributions to human capital and local economic development, we argue that the UN Secretary-General’s call for a ‘new era of social protection’ should prioritise food and nutrition security to address poverty and structural vulnerability comprehensively, through a revised framework of social protection for food and nutrition security.
