The CSO statement commend the Government of Mauritius for its decision to extend the country’s universal child benefit, known as the Contribution Sociale Généralisée (CSG) Child Allowance till June 2025. The extension of this scheme highlights Mauritius’ efforts to strengthen its universal social security system.
The CSO statement calls out the failures of World Bank and EU-backed means-tested social security that covers just 20% of the population, in a context where over 70% experience multidimensional poverty. The statement calls on the World Bank, IMF, international donors & the government to adopt a rights-aligned approach instead.
Civil society organizations and trade unions call governments and international financial institutions to make a commitment to create social security systems that enable everyone to realize their rights. Governments and financial institutions should end policies that have been failing millions of people.
The programme Improving Synergies Between Social Protection and Public Finance Management provided medium-term support to multiple countries aiming to strengthen their social protection systems at a national level and ensure sustainable financing. The programme aimed to support countries in their efforts towards achieving universal social protection coverage.
This initiative was implemented jointly by the ILO, Unicef, and the GCSPF.
