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 register and enrol 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 (allocated over Clinic A and B, while also engaging on the Discussion Forum):
Ralf Radermacher, GIZ
Rachel Strohm, IPA
Rodrigo Ortiz D’avila Assumpcao, ILO
Veronika Wodsak, ILO
Raul Julian Ruggia Frick, ISSA
Tania Nino, WFP
Emrys Schoemaker, Caribou Digital and SPACE
John Blomquist, WB
Alan Gelb, CGDEV
Phillippe George Leite, WB

Moderator for Clinic A:
Valentina Barca, SPACE

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