About the event: The event will gather representatives of FAO partners in social protection to discuss important achievements made thus far – and the way forward – to continue to increase rural prosperity, food security and resilience through the scale-up of social protection systems. A poster exhibition following on the deliberations will provide participants with an opportunity to visualize in numbers and images the impact of social protection successes at global and country levels. | |||
Purpose: The aim of the event is to showcase FAO’s work on Social protection, emphasize the importance of social protection for rural development and resilience, show its positive impact across various regions, and call for further expansion of FAO’s social protection work across countries. | |||
