Innovative Social Protection systems promote better employment, prevent income loss, and protect people against shocks and transitions. They are a lifeline for the poor that provide benefits to nutrition, early child development, climate, women’s empowerment, and more.

Our program gets to "the how” of creating strong social protection systems in economies of all sizes. We address policies, program implementation, digitalization, demographic challenges, migration, and more. Our comprehensive approach includes:

  • Interactive e-learning modules

  • Global and regional hands-on courses

  • Peer-to-peer learning opportunities

  • Vibrant communities of practitioners

  • A global knowledge series in a hybrid format
