ESCAP Social Protection Toolbox
Summary:
The Social Protection Toolbox has been developed as part of a United Nations project entitled Strengthening Social Protection. The toolbox is a platform that provides support to policymakers and stakeholders for moving toward broader and more robust social protection systems.
Using multimedia and data visualization techniques, the Toolbox aims to present the argument for strengthening and broadening social protection in a user-friendly and interactive fashion. It provides users with a point of departure for navigating the complex – and at times fragmented – nature of social protection policymaking. The Toolbox utilizes a database of good practices and a network of social protection experts to facilitate South-South co-operation and the building of consensus in “moving forward” toward broader and more robust coverage.
