September 2018: Three Year Anniversary of socialprotection.org
Welcome to the September socialprotection.org newsletter!
The three year anniversary of socialprotection.org represents a considerable milestone for the platform and the socialprotection.org team. Development has been propelled over the past year thanks to the engagement of users, members and partners. This has seen the consolidation of a community of social protection practitioners, realising the platform’s mission of supporting knowledge exchange and capacity building on social protection around the world. Thank you for contributing to this mission!
The past year has also seen the international community come together to support social protection. This has been reinforced by it being endorsed in numerous international agreements and incorporated into defining international agendas. We have supported this agenda by bringing together almost 3,600 members and providing access to over 3,600 publications on our platform.
Since launch, our team has organised 73 webinars in cooperation with 28 partners, attracting over 4,600 attendees. We host 40 online communities and have published more than 130 blog posts in total! The Programme Profile section now showcases over 240 social protection programmes and is set to expand substantially in the coming year.
The third anniversary of the platform presents an opportunity to highlight the collaborative progress achieved by socialprotection.org. We hope you enjoy exploring content highlights from the past year and look forward to introducing you to more exciting content and developments in the coming year!
