Synopsis (short abstract) In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic led to development and implementation of a 12-week e-coaching on social protection as a response to replace the Social Security Academy. In March-May 2021 ITC-ILO offers this e-Coaching programme for a third time. The E-coaching allows participants benefit from online resources on good practices and case studies, participate in interactive sessions led by highly qualified experts and access high-quality one to one e-coaching from world experts in social protection without the need to travel. It allows them to join and interact online with a global network of professionals to share learning, best practices as well as participate in peer coaching and support. Within this e-training initiative, FAO (as well as other partners, including UN sister agencies) is contributing by providing reading materials as well as videos on interesting case studies, and by participating in webinars and the one to one coaching component, thereby bringing in our special expertise on the exposures and challenges faced by the agricultural subsectors with regards to the pandemic. In addition, ITC-ILO will provide the participants with the e-campus platform for access to the materials and events, a coach matched to the participant’s needs and guidance for the coaching sessions, and administrative support to enable successful completion of the training programme.

    Protection sociale des artisans pêcheurs de la région méditerranéenne
    Policy brief

    Small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region represents a key segment of the fishing sector, accounting for the greatest part of the fleet in the region and more than a half of the total workers employed in the sector. Fisher and fishworker households are exposed to different risks and vulnerabilities, including human and natural hazards. Furthermore, fisheries remain one of the most hazardous occupations with a very high fatality rate. Access to markets, financial, social and institutional services along with diversified and alternative livelihoods opportunities is often poor. Degrading fish stocks and aquatic ecosystems worsen this, along with pressure from climate change and climate-induced shocks and hazards and competition over resources with other sectors. Despite the key role social protection can have in reducing poverty and vulnerability, social protection often does not reach the small-scale fishing sector. The limited availability of accurate, robust and timely data on the sector, challenged by the high levels of informality, irregularity and seasonal nature of small-scale fishing activity, can result in the exclusion of small-scale fishers from laws governing formal employment, therefore, hindering their participation in national social protection systems. This policy brief presents the outcomes of a study commissioned by the FAO and the GFCM on available social protection systems in five countries in the Mediterranean (Albania, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia). It identifies the conditions and vulnerabilities of fishers, along with best practices in the provision of social protection programs and policies, and proposes recommendations to improve the coverage and effective delivery of social protection programmes for small-scale fishers in the region.

    Expanding access to social protection for rural populations 2023

    Social protection is a human right, a commitment in the SDGs and it is an effective policy instrument to address the multiple crises we currently face like a changing climate, conflict and their links with poverty, hunger and inequality. While progress has been made in expanding access to social protection, there are still massive gaps in coverage. This is especially worrying in rural areas where there is a concentration of poor and vulnerable people with limited access to financial and social services, and informal employment is widespread. Consequently, poor and vulnerable rural households face colossal challenges in beneficially participating in economic opportunities, such as those in agrifood systems. Without access to adequate and comprehensive social protection, rural populations risk being left behind, blocking progress on reducing poverty and inequality.

    Technical Support Towards Testing and Rolling Out the Food Security Pack Component of the Zambia Integrated Social Protection Information System - TCP/ZAM/3803 2024

    Zambia’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure suffers from inadequacies and fragmentation. In recognition of these challenges, the country’s Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) emphasized the need to improve electronic service delivery for better connectivity and communication. Within this context, the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS) sought to automate its Food Security Pack (FSP) Programme, which relied on inefficient and error-prone manual processes. These issues often led to high operational costs, inefficiencies in beneficiary targeting and enrolment, and problems in ensuring transparency and accountability. In 2017, the MCDSS requested assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to evaluate the impact of the FSP Programme and develop a Management Information System (MIS) for its automation. In order to efficiently implement both the FSP and the Social Cash Transfer (SCT), the Government initiated the development of the Zambia Integrated Social Protection Information System (ZISPIS) with technical support from FAO and the Smart Zambia Institute (SZI). While the SCT module within the ZISPIS was complete, the FSP module needed improvement.
