Tune in | #SocialSafetyNets in a Global Crisis: Challenges & Lessons Learned Amid a Pandemic
A discussion with Arloc Sherman @CenterOnBudget, @asmalateef @breadinstitute, @ValASchmitt @ilo, @mich_rutk @wbg_splabor, Benjamin Davis @FAO & @toendhunger.https://www.pscp.tv/w/1RDxlPbQbndxL
We know that #SocialSafetyNets are one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty. As countries currently fight the health & economic crisis due to #COVID19, demands for these programs are skyrocketing, also highlighting shortfalls & inefficiencies.

With #COVID19 threatening the lives and long-term livelihoods of millions of vulnerable individuals and families around the world, #SocialSafetyNets for those fighting poverty and hunger have become absolutely critical.

Before #COVID19, only 
.
% of countries' GDP was spent on #SocialSafetyNets around the world. However, during the #COVID19 pandemic, there has been an unprecedented scale-up in spending for stimulus packages.

There are gaps in #socialsafetynets, such as the temporary nature of most programs. Most of these don't address vulnerabilities faced by particular groups, esp. women & girls & #IndigenousPeoples, migrants & seasonal agriculture workers.

To #buildbackbetter equitably, we need to prioritize sectors that are relevant for the poor, small & medium-sized producers & businesses, particularly in rural areas, recuperate the informal sector, improve working conditions & focus on safe migration.
- Benjamin Davis @FAO
We have to change the discourse around #socialprotection. It is an investment in the future, as even short-term programs can prevent long-term damage. Especially for nutrition; the first 1000 days of a child are key!

According to the ILO #SocialProtection #COVID19 Monitor, within a few months, nearly 
social protection emergency measures have been adopted in 
countries.

In low-income countries, domestic resource mobilization will not be enough.
These countries should be able to seek international support, at least temporarily, if we really want to achieve the #SDGS on #socialprotection by 2030.

In the US economic security programs, the glass is half full, half empty. 
We have been much more effective with our #SocialSafetyNet than 40 years ago. We now lift about % of people who otherwise would be in poverty above the poverty line.

In Nov, 1 in 8 adults in the U.S. didn’t have enough to eat.
$1 investment in assistance programs resulted in a $1.5 economic outcome. Investments in families who need assistance have lasting benefits for children's health & the economy.
