SocialProtectionOrg
Mission
socialprotection.org is a leading global online platform dedicated to knowledge sharing, capacity strengthening, and collaboration in the field of social protection.
Established in 2015, following a recommendation by the G20 Development Working Group, the platform was created to address a critical gap in coordinated and inclusive knowledge exchange across the global community.
As a member-based, neutral, and unbranded platform, socialprotection.org serves as a hub for policymakers, practitioners, experts, academics and students working with social protection to collaborate, exchange best practices, access resources, and strengthen capacities, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries.
Social protection is central to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere, through the implementation of universal, nationally appropriate social protection systems and floors. In this context, the platform ultimately aims to contribute to strengthening the coverage, adequacy, comprehensiveness, and sustainability of social protection systems worldwide.
The platform is hosted by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), supported by Brazil’s Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA), and benefits from a diverse network of contributors, partners, and funders. Among them is the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) of Australia, which has been the platform’s main funder since its launch.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
