Dr. Michael Cichon, President of the International Council of Social Welfare, presented different models of social protection extension and the impact of different systems on the political and economic development of countries (Presentation 1 and Presentation 2).

This was also an opportunity to share with the Members of Parliament the outcomes of the social protection Assessment-Based National Dialogue process which will serve as a technical basis to inform the drafting of the national social protection strategy –this process was conducted in Myanmar throughout 2014 jointly by the inter-ministerial Social Protection Technical Support Group and the UNCT.
