Moving forward on disability inclusive social protection systems 16 - 17 March 2022
ilo.org
Following the 2019 Joint Statement on inclusive social protection systems, the disability and social protection communities have worked intensely over three years to create momentum, enhance awareness, strengthen capacities and build stronger evidence on how to build disability-inclusive social protection systems. In parallel to the work of the World Bank, GIZ and others, the related UN Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities financed programme implemented jointly by ILO, UNICEF and IDA in collaboration with many partners and strong engagement of DPOs has been an important catalyst for this work. As the programme is coming to an end in March 2022, this webinar will take stock of the work done and the next steps to ensure that adequate and comprehensive social protection benefits are accessible for all people with disabilities.
The objectives of the event are the following:
- Bring together key actors working on disability-inclusive social protection, further strengthen their sense of unity and common purpose and demonstrating the strength of the collaboration in public;
- Show-casing current thinking on key issues of disability-inclusive social protection: what has been done and learnt since the adoption of the joint statement regarding how to strengthen the inclusivity of social protection systems and what questions remain open and require further discussion, research and experiences;
- Strengthen momentum for continued collaboration on building disability-inclusive social protection systems and create a vision on how to move forward
To this end, the conference will have a high-level segment, a technical session on key questions around designing and implementing disability-inclusive social protection policies, programmes and delivery mechanisms.

Making universal social protection a reality for people living with, at the risk of, and affected by HIV or TB 24 February 2022
ilo.org
This webinar will launch a new ILO working paper entitled "Making universal social protection a reality for people living with, at the risk of, and affected by HIV or Tuberculosis".
Only half of the world's population enjoy effective social protection coverage. Extending social protection coverage for all is a matter of urgency. However, coverage gaps can disproportionally affect people living with, at risk of and affected by HIV and TB, including vulnerable populations (e.g., young people, women and girls, people living with disabilities). These gaps especially affect key populations such as gay men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people, people who inject drugs and prisoners and other incarcerated people. The COVID-19 crisis has placed these populations at further risk. Consequently, effective mechanisms are needed to ensure that social protection systems respond well to the needs of people living with these diseases and are inclusive of all vulnerable groups.
The webinar will discuss the findings and recommendations outlined in the paper. This will provide an opportunity for experts and social partners working in this area to share their reflections on the report and the policy recommendations given.
