Social protection as a 'solar’ system

This resource sets out the concept of social protection as a ‘solar’ system – a simple, cohesive, visually clear system. The system is made up of different ‘building blocks’, relating to policy, programme design, implementation and delivery. The resource suggests that these different components are the necessary ingredients for delivering effective social protection. It brings together existing good practice and research to suggest actions that people working in social protection might take within different parts of the overall ‘system’.
