UNDP-开发署亚太区域社会保护支助综合报告（英）-2023-46页_614kb

Purpose: The UNDP Asia-Pacific Regional Synthesis provides an overview of UNDP's support for social protection in the region amid global polycrises, emphasizing the need for reform towards a gender-sensitive, inclusive, and financially sustainable system integrated into national development strategies.

UNDP's Engagement: Through nine key categories—socio-economic impact assessments, analytical work, scale-up/reform, transformative approaches, financing, digitalization, shock-responsive social protection, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and regional initiatives—UNDP delivers interventions aimed at strengthening social protection systems.

Key Interventions: Activities include conducting impact assessments, policy analysis, program scaling-up, introducing digital tools, fostering partnerships, and advancing climate-social protection nexus, often leveraging collaborations with governments, civil society, and UN agencies.

Challenges: Identified gaps include limited social protection coverage, inadequate financing, systemic inefficiencies, and vulnerability of marginalized groups, exacerbated by pandemics, economic crises, and climate change.

Way Forward: Recommendations focus on championing transformative agendas, optimizing financing solutions, promoting digitalization, building knowledge management, and strengthening partnerships to address inequalities and enhance resilience in the face of polycrises.
