Welcome to the new edition of socialprotection.org’s newsletter!
We dedicate May’s issue to the theme of rural poverty, and its connections with social protection. In this context, we share two must-read publications released by our stakeholder members.
We are also pleased to invite you to our webinar on poverty reduction in the rural sector this month.
Published by the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), this paper presents FAO’s vision and approach to social protection, recognizing the critical role social protection plays in advancing food security and nutrition, agriculture development, rural poverty and resilience building.
