Civil Society Forum "The Social Protection Floor Initiative"

The NGO Committee for Social Development invites you to the Civil Society Forum. Co-sponsored by United Nations’ DESA’s Division of Social Policy and Development & Freidrich-Ebert-Stiftung. “The Social Protection Floor Initiative”: Universal access to basic social protection and social services is necessary to break the cycle of poverty and reduce inequality and social exclusion. A basic social protection floor is affordable; its benefits need to be weighed against the potentially high human, social and economic costs of not investing in social protection.
