One-UN National Social Protection Floors Teams

Letter from UNDG Chair and ILO Director General to all UN Resident Co-ordinators and UN Country Teams

In April 2009, the UN System’s Chief Executives Board for Co-ordination (CEB) launched the Social Protection Floor Initiative. Endorsed by UN Member States at the Rio +20 Conference on Sustainable Development, and supported by the G20 and many other fora, the Initiative garnered significant attention and momentum. The UNDG Chair, Helen Clark, and ILO Director General, Guy Ryder, request all UN Resident Co-ordinators and UN Country Teams to consider a number of specific steps to advance this work.
