Inclusive Social Protection
Our Inclusive Social Protection hub specialises in developing integrated approaches to address complex vulnerabilities. Our expertise and experience encompass gender equality, disability and social inclusion, child protection, social service workforce planning, development and strengthening, cash plus programming, and capacity development to empower social protection practitioners. Through our work, we support the development of comprehensive social protection systems that respond effectively to varied societal needs.
We support governments and development partners in designing innovative social protection programs that integrate cash assistance with in-kind social care services. Our approach involves assessing existing capacities, designing needs-based service delivery models, and advising on multi-sector coordination. We aim to strengthen policies and systems that address the specific vulnerabilities. Our work seeks to empower practitioners, promote equity, and build resilient communities, fostering sustainable, positive impacts for individuals and families.
