In recent years, social protection has become an increasingly prominent priority in international agreements and development plans. Since its adoption in 2012, the ILO’s Recommendation on Social Protection Floors, No.202 (2012) has served as an accelerator of social protection extension while providing concrete guidance to countries. The importance of social protection to reduce poverty and inequalities and achieve inclusive and sustainable development is also at the core of the Sustainable Development Agenda adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015. In 2015 too, the ILO Governing Body adopted a Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All, as part of its overall Development Cooperation Strategy (2015-2017), thus fostering the role of the ILO in promoting social protection.
The project objectives:
- Knowledge and expertise are enhanced among ASEAN Member States for extending social protection to all and as a result, measures are proposed at national level to increase social security coverage in ASEAN.
- More workers are covered by social security schemes, in particular among workers of the informal economy, of micro, small and medium enterprise and self-employed, through improved policy, legal framework, and enforcement and delivery mechanisms in Indonesia and Viet Nam.
