October 2019 – UNICEF’s new Global Social Protection Programme Framework outlines the role that child-sensitive social protection systems play in addressing these challenges. It highlights UNICEF’s conceptual approach to social protection, evidence of its impact, and clarity on what constitutes a child-sensitive social protection system. The framework also lays out 10 action areas on social protection, through which UNICEF, together with government and non-government partners, supports countries to progressively achieve universal social protection for children.
The framework is also accompanied by a comprehensive guidance document that features a range of activities across each of UNICEF’s 10 action areas in social protection, a repository of tools and resources, UNICEF’s monitoring and evaluation framework, and annexes containing additional material.
There is an executive summary that is available in multiple languages including French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian.
