Turning the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity: what is next for social protect

Session recordings available here

This thematic clinic provided an opportunity to ask - and answer - questions on the approaches adopted to safely pay new caseloads during the COVID-19 response, and lessons learned for the future.

'Clinic' sessions were an opportunity for participants to ask practical, technical questions on various topics that have been very relevant to the COVID social protection response. These were either answered 'live' or via a subsequent written discussion forum. The sessions were staffed and moderated by designated 'resource people' on that topic, but answers were provided by peers as well.

Designated resource people included:
William Derban, GSMA and SPACE expert
Joscha Albert, GIZ
Lena Gronbach, University of Capetown

Moderator:
Veronika Wodsak, ILO

This clinic was hosted by the Digital Social Protection Working Group SPIAC-B and G2PX, co-chaired by GSMA and SPACE – Social Protection Approaches to COVID-19: Expert advice. SPACE is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and German Development Cooperation (GDC).

This thematic clinic provided an opportunity to ask - and answer - questions on the subject of "preparing" the social protection sector for future shocks, especially in countries with nascent or non-existent social protection systems.

The sessions were attended and moderated by "resource people" designated for that topic, but the answers can and should also be provided by other colleagues.

Moderator: Zehra Fatima Rizvi, UNICEF
