How can Social Protection Systems respond to the COVID-19 Crisis?

One of the distinguishing traits of the COVID-19 crisis is the extent to which the public health response accelerates the pandemic’s social and economic consequences. This characteristic, combined with the grave epidemiological shock and severe impact on livelihoods, defines the coronavirus triple threat.

On one hand, this webinar aims at presenting a comprehensive framework to explore how various countries are using their existing social protection systems to address the COVID-19 crisis. By identifying core cross-cutting themes and overarching questions this will also set the framework for upcoming webinars within this series.

On the other hand, the webinar explores how integrated social protection interventions can contribute to a more comprehensive response to tackle the negative effects of the COVID-19 crisis.
