The Regional UN Issue Based Coalition (IBC) for Social Protection, coordinated by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN-ESCWA), is organising the high-level Arab Ministerial Forum 2021 – “The Future of Social Protection in the Arab Region: building a vision for a post-COVID-19 reality”. Ministers responsible for social protection in the region are amongst the speakers of the event. The Forum has the support from the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) and the socialprotection.org platform.
The aim is to reflect on and formulate a social protection vision and declaration of principles for the countries in the Arab Region in the post-COVID recovery phase, in addition to identifying priority areas for support from the UN (at regional and/or country levels). Simultaneous translation for English, French and Arabic will be available.
