Furthermore, there is a growing need for awareness-raising at the global level as well as for the sharing of knowledge and the development of practical guidance for the governance of social security systems. The project has an important role in bridging the gap in developing comprehensive overview of the best practices, tools and communication mechanisms for the good governance in the social protection systems and floors; and assisting countries to achieve the SDGs and eradicate poverty. Expected accomplishment - EA1 Increased capacity of the national entities responsible for social protection in Cambodia to formulate and implement social security schemes. Expected accomplishment – EA2 Enhanced capacity of the national entities responsible for social protection in Pakistan to coordinate the existing social security schemes and to monitor and evaluate their effectiveness. Expected accomplishment – EA3 Increased regional and global awareness on the vital important role of governance in extending the coverage of social protection. The project is jointly implemented by the UN DESA Division for Inclusive Social Development and the International Labour Office (ILO) Social Protection Department (SOCPRO) in the framework of ILO’s Global Flagship Programme for Social Protection Floors. Each agency is responsible for the implementation of the project budget allocated to it. UN DESA is responsible for the resources to deliver project activities for the three component (Cambodia, Pakistan and Global).
