Description

The project aims at the development and adoption of social protection policies at provincial level followed by piloting of coordinated social protection system to be replicated in in other provinces. The Pakistan Vision 2025 calls for mainstreaming social protection into all government policies. Social Protection is one of the priority areas of the Decent Work Country Programme-III (DWCP-III: 2016-2020) and the draft UN-Pakistan Partnership Framework (One Programme-III: 2018-2022). Within this context, ILO is assisting the Government to mobilize cooperation within the international system to build social protection floors in line with ILO Standards. As a pilot initiative, the ILO is assisting the Provincial Government of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa to finalise the draft Social Protection Policy, design and test a coordinated social protection system that can be replicated in other provinces. The Business community is also engaged through establishment of ‘Pakistan Business Network for Social Protection (PBN-SP)’ in collaboration with Employers’ Federation of Pakistan. The social partners will be fully involved and supported in this endeavour. A Unified Management Information System (MIS) and Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) system for social protection will be developed. This will be followed by capacity building of Social Protection Departments at provincial and district levels to adopt the MIS and M&E systems.
