Description
Launched in October 2019, the EU-funded programme on 'Improving synergies between social protection and public finance management' (SP&PFM Programme) has been supporting 24 countries in their efforts towards achieving universal social protection, ensuring they are gender-responsive, disability-inclusive and shock-responsive. The Programme has contributed to strengthen the sustainability of social protection financing through strong advocacy for increased fiscal space for social protection and improved public finance management.
The international symposium offers the chance to take stock of the results achieved, exchange country experiences and innovations, and highlight key research findings of the SP&PFM Programme. It will also look ahead to how countries can maintain their momentum towards realizing universal social protection.
Interpretation will be provided in English, French and Spanish.
