Some tips to set up your SPF team

 

UNSPF Joint Teams could be established in other countries to support the design and implementation of national social protection floors in a coherent and coordinated manner.

Some tips if you are interested in setting up a UNSPF Joint Team in your country

• It is time consuming! Each participating agency needs to nominate at least one focal point and the lead agency (ILO in the case of Thailand) one staff member on a part-time basis;

 

• The lead agency should have a recognized  leadership in the field of social protection, and preferably strong technical capacity in one or more of its components;

 

• Commitment of time and resources from all agencies is needed: in Thailand UN agencies on the Team assigned one staff who was the focal point and participated in all meetings… and fortunately there was no turn over!
