My message at today's #HRC50: Providing social protection on paper is not enough; govts must do more to ensure ppl can access the benefits they are entitled to #NonTakeUp is perpetuating the poverty that social protection was designed to wipe out More: bit.ly/NTU-press_rele

Social protection schemes are often made deliberately complex and inaccessible under the guise of preventing fraud & saving money. This is an expensive & inefficient political choice that stifles social protection’s role in building more inclusive societies. #NonTakeUp 6/6

Topics to follow

Carousel

Some social protection schemes intentionally exclude the people who need them the most – by requiring certain documents from undocumented migrants or from workers in the informal economy, for example. #NonTakeUp 5/6

Humiliating application processes and the stigma surrounding social protection mean the world’s most marginalized groups are often reluctant to access the benefits they are entitled to. #NonTakeUp 4/6

People often don’t know if they’re eligible for social protection schemes, or how to apply. Those that do can face incredibly costly or complex application processes. #NonTakeUp 3/6

Simply not being aware of the existence of social protection schemes is the main reason people are unable to access the benefits they are entitled to. #NonTakeUp 2/6

Design flaws in social protection mean millions of ppl are unable to benefit from the very systems set up to protect them. This is known as #NonTakeUp & is a huge waste of public resources. 👇A thread on #NonTakeUp - the theme of my report to #HRC50 bit.ly/NTU-report 1/6

With 350,000 young people to graduate from school in 2022, Kyrgyzstan must do more to provide its youth with real opportunities beyond migration. It must work to diversify its economy, provide quality jobs, and support informal workers in their transition to formal employment 5/5

The Government needs to fight corruption to reduce poverty. Corruption imposes a triple sentence on people in poverty: having to pay bribes makes social services more expensive; it affects people who dare not complain and discourages investors and donors 4/5

Social protection transfers are currently exceedingly low in #Kyrgyzstan, with child benefits and minimum income schemes barely allowing poor families to make ends meet. Better social protection benefits will protect the country’s poorest and build a stronger economy 3/5

UN expert

urged Kyrgyzstan to move away from reliance on remittances and face its challenges head on by investing in education and strengthening its social protection system to protect persons in poverty Read
