Building universal social protection systems for all: What role for targeting? | by Shahra Razavi (ILO) et al. — The term “targeting” is generally used when referring to poverty targeting and is rarely used for other eligibility criteria, such as age or employment status.

Episode #14 | A Global Fund for Social Protection—Only a few countries have enough domestically allocated resources to finance their social protection systems. Therefore, international mechanisms are increasingly being called for to build up a global fund for social protection.

Log in to the socialprotection.org to participate in the e-discussions. You are also invited to join the live hangout sessions in the upcoming Wednesdays.
