Civil Society Call for a Global Fund for Social Protection
Over 200 civil society organizations and trade unions unite to call for a Global Fund for Social Protection to protect the most vulnerable during COVID-19 and beyond.

This event offers civil society and academic perspectives on the proposal of a Global Fund for Social Protection.
