First meeting of the Social Protection Inter-agency Cooperation Board, July 2012
The first meeting of the Social Protection Interagency Cooperation Board (SPIAC-B) was held 2-3 July 2012 in New York.
The first SPIAC-B meeting set out to begin the process of facilitating interagency coordination and collaboration on social protection, and to distinguish the SPIAC-B mandate from that of the Social Protection Floor Initiative (SPF-I). (See: How are SPIAC-B and SPF-I related?)
Introductions were followed by Board member strategy presentations and a "show and tell" segment of ongoing Board member and observer social protection initiatives.
