Social protection is a critical component of poverty reduction. Social protection sustains economic growth, political and human rights and human development. PDP works in countries where social protection programs are important to providing basic human services and alleviating the symptoms of chronic poverty. When linked to macroeconomic stability, human capital development, education and access to health services, social protection policies help reduce risk and vulnerability for many nations’ most disadvantaged citizens.
We assist governments to improve human capital through the preparation of national social protection strategies and programs including:
- pension and social security schemes
- income support through social funds
- labour market programs
- social risk management frameworks.
