Description

The unprecedented scale of the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged governments around the world to effectively respond to its economic impacts. In OPT, the crisis has exposed structural weaknesses in the social protection system, which is fragmented across a wide array of longstanding and project-based programmes. This action aims to enhance coordination across government and non-governmental actors and initiatives to increase programmatic coherence for multi-year planning and financing strategies, to unlock operational synergies and achieve efficiency gains, and to increase access to the administration for social protection applicant and beneficiary households as well as the general public, particularly among poor and vulnerable populations. In parallel, it also seeks to increase the shock-responsiveness of the system, to introduce and improve decentralized horizontal coordination mechanisms, and capacitate local officials and civil society representatives on themes of social protection governance and administration, including in times of crisis.
