What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A multi-donor project, funded by the Governments of Belgium and Luxembourg, supported the second phase of the Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All. This initiative improved access to social protection measures for more than 9 million people across six countries, including Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project aimed to strengthen inclusive and sustainable social protection systems, specifically addressing the lack of security for workers in the informal economy. This effort supports the adoption of national policies, such as in Burundi, which helps provide access to social security in cases of illness, unemployment, or old age.
