3 SADC social protection instruments: towards a minimum floor. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has as its mission the promotion of sustainable and equitable economic growth and socio-economic development through efficient production systems, deeper cooperation and integration, good governance, and durable peace and security, so that the region emerges as a competitive and effective player in international relations and the world economy.19. In order to achieve its mission, member states have concluded various instruments, such as Charters, Protocols, and Codes. Amongst these are instruments which are geared towards the promotion of adequate social protection in the region. SADC social protection-related instruments include the Declaration and Treaty of the SADC (the SADC Treaty), the Charter of Fundamental Social Rights in the SADC (the Social Charter), the Code on Social Security, the Protocol on Gender and Development, the Protocol on Health, the Protocol on Education and the ...

This three-year project supports the design, delivery, and learning associated with the World Banks Adaptive Social Protection Program (ASP) in Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Mauritania, and Senegal. Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) will manage the RCT for the ASP regionally. The project aims to sustainably reduce extreme poverty through the cost-effective integration and adaptation of the Graduation Approach into large-scale social protection programs in the Sahel.. In October 2016, the World Bank and six Sahelian country governments convened in Dakar to agree on the components of a basic package for the nascent ASP program. This basic package comprises many of the components central to the Graduation Approach, including individualized coaching. Delivering and financing individualized coaching at scale is a challenge, particularly in the context of dispersed populations and limited human resources. Building on two years of smaller scale experimentation, Trickle Ups engagement in this ...

But what is a situation of concern for all women across the globe is particularly acute for women and girls with Down Syndrome, as well as parents of Down Syndrome children. And if there is one area in which there does not seem to be much of a variance between girls and boys it is with regard to what happens when parents receive a diagnosis of Down Syndrome. In many countries that diagnosis is sadly tantamount to a death sentence. Despite the assurances of the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, including those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity, there are really no social protections for those diagnosed in the womb with a third 21st chromosome. For children born with Down Syndrome, in many places access to public services - to education, ...

Aiming to better understand the social protection responses by governments of the region to the COVID-19 emergency, the IPC-IG and UNICEFs Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Office (LACRO) jointly developed a series of four technical notes reporting actions taken, focusing on social assistance, social insurance and labour market programmes. These notes replaced a research report on shock-responsive social protection in the region. The first note was published in May and focuses on Social Assistance (especially cash transfer and school feeding measures). The second was released in September and addresses Social Insurance and Labour Market Interventions. Both notes are available in Spanish and include an annex with a comprehensive mapping of social protection measures adopted by 24 countries in the region. The remaining two notes will be published in 2021.. The results of the technical notes were presented in the Virtual Booth Talk organised by UNICEF LACRO during the online global ...

Institutional assessment report : the National Commission for social action (English) The objective of the institutional assessment is to assist the organization in restructuring and strengthening itself to lead in the delivery of social protection services among the poor and vulnerable of Sierra Leone following the expiry, in 2018, of the 10-year mandate that was granted to the National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA) in 2008. ... See More + The government of Sierra Leone made a directed decision to focus on social protection partly as a response to the Ebola outbreak and the resulting strain on the countrys resources. Social protection became a major focus because the country was battling substantial poverty arising from a poorly performing economy characterized by high unemployment rates among youth and adults, poor health among women and children, and the problems of orphans, the disabled, and people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. In addition, the legacy of displacement, war ...

SPEAKER 2 12:53. Definitely, um, the one thing that I did not mention, before I started working for the company that I work for now, or before I actually got into my field of computer engineering. I worked for the non-profit sector for 15 years. Yeah. And that, that those 15 years, Ive learned how to make relationships, meaning to get to those individuals that know are going to support me, and help me to support my organization. So when it came down to a day, we call this day in Georgia, Georgia Gives Day, where we actually raise money for the different non-profit organizations in Georgia. And so when it came down to me, asking individuals for money, it wasnt a hard thing, because I made that relationship with those individuals. What I do see differently in a corporate sector that Im in now, you can make relationships, but its not as, as deep as it was when youre dealing with a non-profit organization. So for example, if I export somebody to donate to my non-profit organization, theyll be ...

The focus of these programmes is to advance social justice and promote decent work for all. The ILO programmes and projects cover issues as such the ratification and implementation of international labour standards; the strengthening of sustainable entreprises and supply chains; the extension and improvement of social protection benefits; the implementation of health and safety standards especially in SMEs; the protection of vulnerable groups of workers including these living with HIV/AIDS and disabilities; and the adequate labour and social protection for workers in non-standard forms of employment such as those working in the informal or gig economies. The ILO carries out these programmes and policies taking into account the gender dimension and the unequal position of women in the world of work. Finally, strengthening tripartism and social dialogue is at the heart of all ILO activities, and this applies also to China and Mongolia ...

NURYS PRESBOT DE MICHEL (Dominican Republic) said his country promoted the rights of older persons through the National Council on the Elderly. It provided follow-up to the 2003 regional action plan for Latin America and the Caribbean on the elderly and the 2007 Brazil Declaration. Despite its difficult economic situation, the Government had made significant strides to eradicate poverty and improve the living standards of the elderly. It also strengthened action to comply with decree 352-98 on the rights of the elderly. In 2010, an estimated 8.6 per cent of the population was over the age of 60. One quarter of all elderly people in the country lived in poverty. With the support of the National Council, the Government had designed programmes to aid heads of households that were over the age of 60. More than 82,000 older persons received monthly aid in the form of medication, food, housing and wheelchairs. The Government and the Council were giving monthly subsidies of 700 pesos each to 75,000 ...

Despite important progress in poverty reduction, significant segments of the Mexican population still face food insecurity and nutrition challenges. The Ministry of Social Development (SEDESOL) documents that in 2012, as many as 27.4 million people (23.3 percent of the total population) reported some deprivation related to food access. The prevalence of deprivation related to food access is especially high among indigenous population (35.4 percent), youth (28.1 percent), and people with disabilities (31.2 percent).

An estimated 200 million people are at risk of trachoma in 42 countries. Trachoma is a neglected tropical disease. It occurs in some of the poorest populations with limited access to clean water, sanitation, and healthcare, and is the worlds leading infectious cause of blindness. At present, we have a unique opportunity to eliminate this disease. This course aims to inform and support the personnel implementing and managing trachoma programmes at a district and community level. Additionally, the course will provide insights from stakeholders, experts and professionals as they share successes and resolve challenges to achieve elimination of trachoma.. ...

Cerebral malaria is a dangerous complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, which takes a devastating toll on children in sub-Saharan Africa. Although autopsy studies have improved understanding of cerebral malaria pathology in fatal cases, information about in vivo neurovascular pathogenesis is scarce because brain tissue is inaccessible in life. The authors critically appraise evidence for associations between retina and brain neurovasculature in health and disease, and in the process they develop new hypotheses about why these vascular beds are susceptible to sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes.. ...

Inclusive growth is one of the most talked about issues in developing countries, especially those in transition, these days. It has been pretty much widely accepted that growth alone is not sufficient; it has to be followed by wider access to economic opportunities and provision of social protection for those left out of the growth process.. ADB has come up with a framework for inclusive growth, which has three main components: (i) High and sustainable growth; (ii) Access to economic and social development opportunities; and (iii) Stronger social protection. It also has a list of 35 indicators to quantify (either directly or via proxies) inclusive growth. It is not yet clear what benchmark to use: either within country benchmark relative to earlier years or regional average or both. Anyway, any quantifiable indicators to measure inclusive growth is good to get thoughts straight on this hugely important yet not entirely clear (definition wise) issue. The first pillar of inclusive growth ...

Governments of nine countries in the Global South studied in this report have, on average, provided stimulus measures across the board equivalent to only 3.9 percent of their GDPs, with funds directed toward social protections totalling approximately 1 percent of their GDPs. The overall stimulus spending falls clearly short of the aim of 10 percent of GDP, as called for by the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez in March 2020. Social protection spending to address the economic and social impacts of Covid-19is clearly inadequate, given the severity of the crisis. It is estimated that globally between143 million to 163 million people will fall into extreme economic poverty by December 2021. Already in 2020 124 million are likely to face extreme poverty. It is therefore critical that all Interventions, combine recovery stimulus with human rights safeguards and meeting peoples needs.. Read Full Report ...

Régis de Muylder, a doctor and Volunteer Corps Member in the International Movement ATD Fourth Word shared the ways in which he, with his team and a Haitian NGO, Service Œcuménique dEntraide (SOE), developed a holistic approach towards eradicating poverty by guaranteeing access to primary healthcare for the most vulnerable families through a micro-insurance system. The project prioritizes the participation of the poorest families through an integrative approach that includes a long-term commitment to build knowledge in the community; a grassroots project that emphasizes education, early childhood well-being, and health promotion; and recruitment and training of community health workers from the community itself. At a cost of only $11.50 per person a year, 918 families received healthcare in 2016.. An evaluation of this project demonstrated that this healthcare system has virtually eliminated impoverishment from medical expenses and the need for individuals to forgo essential care for ...

Approximately 767 million people live on less than $1.90 a day.1 Across the world, the extreme poor generally depend on insecure and fragile livelihoods, and their income is frequently irregular or seasonal, putting them and their families at risk of hunger. Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) works with academics from top research institutions to discover sustainable ways to lift these households out of extreme poverty and to support the scale-up of effective programs. In recent years, IPA has helped propel breakthrough findings-particularly on cash transfers and the big-push strategy known as the Graduation approach-into large-scale programs, reaching tens of millions of people. We are now testing variations of the Graduation approach in Ghana, Uganda, and the Sahel to identify what drives the impacts and how to make it more cost-effective.. 1 http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/poverty/overview.

The Interfaith Social Assistance Reform Coalition (ISARC) is a provincial network of faith groups working together for greater social justice. ISARC was born out of the hope that together a coalition of faith groups could contribute to new public policies based upon greater justice and dignity for Ontarians marginalised by poverty.. In 1986 the Ontario government appointed an independent Social Assistance Review Committee (SARC) to study, consult, and make recommendations on the future of welfare. ISARCs original mandate was to provide advice to that Committee. In the past decades, in concert with many other concerned groups, our coalition has advocated in support of SARCs recommendations for an adequate, accessible, fair, and accountable social assistance system. ISARC has moved beyond reform of the system to name the causes of impoverishment and injustice.. Our coalition brings together representatives and members of faith groups to address public policies on issues of poverty, hunger, and ...

Aside from stating the purpose of your non-profit organization, a constitution also defines its structure. It establishes, among other things, the number of directors, the length of directorial terms and the powers and duties of the board. A constitution details all of the procedures for the organization, from how minutes are entered and distributed, to how votes are conducted. Further, a constitution needs to outline the procedure for making changes and amendments to the constitution itself. A constitution can be fairly simple, or incredibly complex. In general, the larger your organization is, and the larger the geographical area it services, the more complicated your constitution will need to be. For a non-profit organization that you operate largely from home to the benefit of people in your immediate neighbourhood, your constitution may be only a single page in length. For a national organization, with directors serving regionally and flying across the country for annual meetings, youll ...

BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA. The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was drafted in mid-1999 by a constitutional assembly that was created by popular referendum. This 1999 Constitution was adopted in December 1999, replacing the 1961 Constitution. It was primarily promoted by the current President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez and thereafter received strong backing from diverse sectors, including figures involved in promulgating the 1961 constitution such as Luis Miquilena and Carlos Andrés Pérez. This constitution is referred to as the Constitución Bolivariana (the Bolivarian Constitution) because it is descended ideologically from the thinking and political philosophy of Simón Bolívar and Bolivarianism.. The Constitution of 1999 was the first constitution ever approved by popular referendum in Venezuelan history, and summarily inaugurated the Fifth Republic of Venezuela due to the socioeconomic changes foretold in its pages, as well as the official change in ...

Vaccine research is constantly revealing new possibilities to protect populations from serious health threats. Additionally, new strains of diseases emerge requiring the adaptation of vaccines in order to offer protection.. The process of immunisation requires an environment that is resourced with appropriate materials and health workers to ensure the safe and effective administration of vaccines. Administration of vaccines often requires injections, and safety procedures for injections must always be followed.. Immunisation schedules can vary according to the type of vaccine, with some requiring multiple administrations to be effective. It is vitally important that the full schedule is followed otherwise the effectiveness of the vaccine may be compromised.. The benefits of immunisation have had a profound effect on populations, not only in terms of preventing ill health but also in permitting resources previously required to treat the diseases to be redirected to other health priorities. ...

Health Care & Social Assistance sector comprises firms providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social assistance and finally finishing with only social assistance. The services provided in this sector are delivered by trained health practitioners and social workers with requisite experience.

It is well recognised that physical illness due to medication adverse events is common in psychiatric practice, and contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality.7,8 An intervention that reduces these risks is to be welcomed, especially if it is cost-neutral and does not require more resources, as in this study.. The list of adverse drug events reported here is not unusual. They encompass the signature drug events that are highlighted in the drug-drug interaction and adverse drug reaction literature.9 The antibiotic-related events are common, and QT interval prolongation is an important adverse event with many psychiatric medications. The orlistat events require further study to see whether there is a relationship between it and psychiatric medication malabsorption. The observation in four patients and the mechanism of action of orlistat, namely gut lipase inhibition, make the association plausible. The list of toxicities of lithium, lamotrigine and clozapine highlights the ongoing need ...

On December 23, 2003, JCAHO issued a clarification to the standards pertaining to Bylaws that permitted credentialing, privileging, appointment, and fair hearing and appeal processes to be referenced in the Bylaws and described in detail in other documents. In addition, the clarification noted that the approval process for these other documents could differ from the approval process for the Bylaws, which requires approval by a percentage of the entire medical staff. The clarification explicitly stated that, for example, the medical staff could delegate its authority to approve the other documents to the Medical Executive Committee (MEC), so that amendments to the other documents would require only MEC approval followed by governing body approval. Thus, pursuant to this clarification, JCAHO did not require that the full medical staff approve amendments to documents relating to credentialing, privileging, appointment, and fair hearing and appeal processes ...

The College recognizes that policy documents are living documents that need to be reflected upon periodically in light of changing legal and social context. The College continues to receive feedback on Bylaw 12. In the time since the bylaw was first approved, the Board reflected on comments that have argued for increased limits (re: qualifications, titles, designations, etc.) and those that have argued for removing them altogether, all while considering the underlying public protection objective of the bylaw. The public expects clear, understandable and verifiable information about healthcare providers. The public and the profession have consistently expressed concerns with advertising and promotional activities that are confusing and misleading. These factors argue for constraining advertising and promotional activities. On the other hand, the ability for dentists to advertise and promote themselves and their services is a legitimate commercial interest that also deserves consideration. ...

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Social Protection Deputy Willie ODea TD has said that changes are needed to the Social Welfare Bill to ensure that Lone Parents are treated fairly.. Ive tabled a number of amendments to the Social Welfare Bill including a review of changes that were made to the One Parent Family Payment and a review of the eligibility criteria for the State Contributory Pension that will be discussed at todays meeting of the Social Protection Committee, said ODea.. The punitive changes that were introduced by the last Government must be reviewed. Quite simply, many lone parents and their children are living in significant poverty, and social exclusion is increasing in lone parent households.. The evidence is clear on this matter. Policy decisions taken by the last Government have exacerbated the challenges facing lone parents. What must happen, if we are to work in an evidence-based system, is that these policy decisions be reviewed.. Deputy ODea has also put forward ...

PDF of Resource While the SDGs are a significant improvement over the Millennium Development Goals, including in their commitments to gender equality and womens rights, there is no major advance when it comes to accountability: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides only for a weak and voluntary process of follow-up and review.. Building on the work CESR and UN Women have each done on the theme of accountability, this briefing dives deeper into how these accountability deficits can be improved with a specific focus on womens rights. At a bare minimum, it argues, gender-responsive accountability requires that women are full participants in any oversight or accountability process; and that womens human rights are the standard of assessment against which progress towards gender equality is judged and decisions made. Otherwise, governments may focus their efforts on the achievement of goals and targets which are not aligned with their existing international human rights ...

Who Chooses? In Roman times, abortion and the destruction of unwanted children was permissible, but as out civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, Canada along with most other nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life. The World Medical Association meeting in Geneve at the same time, stated that the utmost respect for human life was to be from the moment of conception. This declaration was re-affirmed when the World Medical Association met in Oslo in 1970. Should we go backwards in our concern for the life of an individual human being? The unborn human is still a human life and not all the wishful thinking of those advocating repeal of abortion laws, can alter this. Those of us who would seek to protect the human who is still to small to cry aloud for its own protection, have been accused of having a 19th Century approach to life in the last third of ...

The aim of activity is to present movement of expenditures for social assistance in Serbia for the past few years, as well as their comparison with developed countries. Also, it should assess role of expenditures in mitigating economic disparities and poverty, with aim to prove that social expenditures are not unproductive category, but an investment for a better future. However, Serbia is below European average in terms of mitigation of poverty, yet there are clear efforts undertaken by the state to resolve issue of poverty and enhance living standard of the population. For that purpose, the state has introduced and is implementing various social assistance programmes, aiming at lowering both absolute and relative poverty levels.. ...

TCM body constitution could indicate the overall health status of individuals, and unbalanced body constitution often represents deteriorated health status, a condition that western medicine will diagnose as no disease. Therefore, body constitution has enormous potential application in preventive treatment of diseases. Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is an intermediate metabolic state between health status and diabetes mellitus, and is a potential illness for the research and clinical application of body constitution. This study explored TCM body constitution types among IGR subjects and their associations with serum cytokines and incidence of diabetes. This is the first investigation on the association between TCM body constitution type and risk factors of daibetes among IGR subjects. The results showed that Phlegm-damp, Damp-heat and Qi-deficiency constitution were all associated with lower serum level of adiponectin and higher serum level of leptin.

Dog walking enables physical activity and positive social interactions, but uncontrolled dogs as well as dog feces can foster conflict and deter physical activity, for both dog owners and nonowners. This case study shows that previously reported associations with dogs (both positive and negative) can be linked to the wording and the day-to-day implementation of, or incompliance with, local governments bylaws on pets. In this example of posthumanist health promotion, the policy goal is to optimize the overall impact on well-being of pet animals. Analytically, the case study draws together insights from actor-network theory, Foucaults theory of governmentality, Bourdieus theory of habitus, and anthrozoology (i.e. the study of human-animal interactions as well as related ideas and norms). Posthumanist health promotion is a theoretically informed approach that can assist in developing policy and implementation strategies, not only on pets but on a range of topics.

Authors: Octavio Gómez-Dantés, Julio Frenk & Ignacio Ibarra. In this paper, the authors analyze the evolution of the Mexican legal framework that culminated in the creation of the System of Social Protection in Health (SSPH) and its operative branch, Popular Health Insurance or Seguro Popular. This insurance scheme extended health care coverage with financial protection to all Mexicans citizens in 2012. First, we discuss the nature of social rights, including the right to health care. The authors then describe the evolution of the contents of the legal instruments (the Constitution, the social security laws and the General Health Law) that supported the transition in Mexico from health care as the subject of charity to health care as a labor right and then as a social or citizen right. Finally, the authors discuss how the creation of the SSPH established the regulatory and financial conditions to guarantee the exercise of the right to the protection of health. There are three lessons of the ...

Description Editors Contact. This set in the IEL provides profound information on the different social security schemes in the various countries. The basic ideas and mechanisms of each scheme are described in an easily comprehensible way.. The legal mechanisms of the following areas of social protection are covered in each monograph: health care, employment injuries and occupational diseases, sickness benefits, pensions, unemployment and family benefits. Due to the fact that a similar structure of text is used for every country, the main differences between the various national social security systems are clearly underlined. Law enforcements, controls and appeals receive special attention. A group of international monographs explains the role of international organizations in setting norms for social security systems and in coordinating existing systems in cases involving migrant workers and others to whom more than one national scheme may be applicable ...

In the area of ​​social protection in NPEI 2016-2020 is foreseen the social services reform towards decentralization of social services and social care deinstitutionalization and creating electronic records of families benefiting from economic aid and disability scheme. So far in the direction of decentralization of social care services through the possibility of introducing alternative service (family -house, day centers, community service, etc.) more attempts are made by the private sector that often does not stretch as needed and it is not coordinated by the state. Local government, except for the municipality of Tirana, had no financial means to set up and fund themselves the social services or social care. The new administrative reform has just begun and it is not known yet how many will support the new budget, and whether municipalities will be able to generate funds that can be used in the field of social services and in the community care ...

Ghana had originally sought to apply for an amount of US$500 to US$600 million, but successfully engaged the fund to increase the request to US$1 billion. The IMF executive board approved the amount on 13th April and the disbursement of the RCF proceeds to Ghana is expected to take place in a single tranche on Friday, 17th April, 2020, the report of the Finance Committee said. The Rapid Credit Facility provides low access, rapid and concessional financial assistance to Low Income Countries facing urgent balance payments need. In the case of Ghana, given the enormous fiscal challenge posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the RCF has been negotiated to be used for budget support. The assistance will help preserve critical expenditures, including social protection programmes outlined in the 2020 budget. The proceeds from the facility will also be used to help close the financing gap that has been created by the Covid-19 pandemic through shortfalls in revenue and additional expenditures in the fight ...

Having played a key role in forging the consensus regarding resilience, WFP is well placed to help Malawi make progress on these critical priorities and to support policy implementation, harnessing its comparative advantage with government and other partners across the humanitarian-development nexus. The Government and its partners recognize the strong results that WFP has achieved in nutrition-sensitive programming,2 in advancing innovations that link humanitarian assistance, resilience and social protection and in implementing and scaling up a package of integrated resilience-building activities with Government and partners.3. WFP believes that between now and 2030 this approach can be scaled up further with the Government and partners to establish a path out of the poverty trap for food-insecure vulnerable populations and the very poor. Accordingly, this country strategic plan is a five-year strategy to help Malawi better coordinate national efforts to tackle hunger, improve nutrition and ...

Interpretive Summary: Social insects defend themselves against parasites and pathogens using behaviour and physiological defenses. This study explores immune defense found in honey bees, two bumble bee species and a solitary pollinator, the alfalfa leafcutting bee. All of these groups show a similar set of immune genes, stressing the importance of immunity across the bees, and indicating additional targets for selection of robust honey bees for agriculture. Technical Abstract: Sociality has many rewards, but it can also be dangerous, as high population density and low genetic diversity, common in many social insects, is ideal for parasite transmission. Social insects may therefore be expected to have evolved a specialised immune arsenal to guard against this threat. Surprisingly, the honeybee genome, which was the first social insect genome sequenced, revealed a dramatic reduction in the number of canonical immune-related genes relative to the genomes of solitary insects. Social protection from ...

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting pressures on public finances and donor resources are necessitating stark trade-offs among different policy priorities within the agriculture sector and across the food system. In what ways has the pandemic altered the balance of power among urban and rural populations, the state and private sector, and across government ministries?. For example, are social protections and interventions to help heavily hit urban areas complementing or displacing government and donor investments in the agriculture sector? How are governments helping agri-businesses during this period, and which industries are prioritized for financial and other forms of state support? And are responses to COVID-19 fostering improved coherence across the food system to protect incomes, livelihoods, and food security, or leading to increased inter-governmental fractionalization around scarce resources? These are some of the considerations that decision makers must now ...

The demographic characteristics of different regions in the former Soviet Union influence the nature of poverty in the newly successor independent states of the FSU. Despite a common policy inheritance, major adjustments are needed in the major social protection instruments to reflect differences in demographics along with a changing resource base.

The consequences of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak are unprecedented and felt around the world. The pandemic is heavily affecting labour markets and economies, including global supply chains, leading to widespread business disruptions. With many businesses struggling to survive, loss of jobs and income and rising working poverty are a reality for many workers. Self-employed, domestic and care workers and those in casual or temporary agency employment are at particular risk. The absence of adequate social protection systems exacerbates working families vulnerability to the crisis.. This document offers (interim) recommendations for employers to mitigate the negative consequences stemming from COVID-19.. Authored by: UNICEF, International Labour Organization and UN Women. ...

2018-06-12) The World Day against Child Labour is significant in several respects at national and global levels: it is an important occasion to renew our shared commitment to promote and protect the rights of every child; to demonstrate our collective resolve to do everything necessary to eliminate child labour and to enhance international engagement and cooperation in this important filed.. Making a smooth transition from childhood to productive work for everyone is both essential and prudent. This requires coordinated measures in the fields of education, nutrition, healthcare, vocational training, employment opportunities, and social protection.Such investments are key to a better future for our children and would constitute a net contribution to the realization of Sustainable Developments Goals.. We recognize the role of the United Nations and its specialized agencies as well as our partners in supporting child related initiatives of the Government of Pakistan.. Pakistan is a party to the ...

So, today, I am happy to formally launch, by far the most ambitious social protection programme in our history. A programme that both seeks to start the process of lifting many from poverty, while at the same time creating the opportunity for people to fend for themselves. In this regard, Five Hundred Billion Naira has been appropriated in the 2016 budget for social intervention programmes in five key areas. We are committed to providing job creation opportunities for five hundred thousand teachers and one hundred thousand artisans across the nation. 5.5 million children are to be provided with nutritious meals through our school feeding programme to improve learning outcomes, as well as enrolment and completion rates. The conditional cash transfer scheme will provide financial support for up to one million vulnerable beneficiaries, and complement the enterprise programme - which will target up to one million market women; four hundred and sixty thousand artisans; and two hundred thousand ...

Ethel Foundation began with the vision of Fr Cornel Omondi, C.Ss.R. in our parish Iruma, in the diocese of Meru in Kenya. He had witnessed the elderly, abandoned by their children, and no one to take care of them when they were old and sick. He had witnessed a woman eaten by maggots while still alive.. When he shared with a few youngsters in the parish his desire to help such people they came together to do something. Soon others joined in the vision of Cornel and thus Ethel Foundation was born in 2017. It is a registered society now, under the Ministry of East Africa community, labor and social protection department of social development. Besides Catholics, there are people of other denominations and faith in the governing body of the Ethel Foundation.. Ethel Foundation currently has 44 dependants in Iruma in Tharaka Nithi County. İt has a plan to expand its operation to other areas too. A main need of the elderly is their daily food. Also, many of the dependents need toilet facilities, repair ...

Ethiopias Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a large-scale social protection intervention aimed at improving food security and stabilizing asset levels. The PSNP contains a mix of public works employment and unconditional cash and food transfers. It is a well-targeted program; however, several years passed before payment levels reached the intended amounts. The PSNP has been successful in improving household food security. However, childrens nutritional status in the localities where the PSNP operates is poor, with 48 percent of children stunted in 2012. This leads to the question of whether the PSNP could improve child nutrition. In this paper, we examine the impact of the PSNP on childrens nutritional status over the period 2008-2012. Doing so requires paying particular attention to the targeting of the PSNP and how payment levels have evolved over time. Using inverse-probability-weighted regression-adjustment estimators, we find no evidence that the PSNP reduces either chronic ...

If theres no published peer-reviewed proof that it reduces health care prices, nabobs, pinheads, skeptics and policymakers might want to determine if no evidence of an influence on prices is similar as proof of no influence on prices. I believe 3-D would be the next huge factor in motion pictures. Now that it is perfected, I might not need to see it every other manner. Particularly action and adventure flix. I will nonetheless watch for comedy and drama motion pictures to return out on blu-ray. Personally, I imagine no drug ought to ever be prescribed for melancholy or anxiety and not using a prescription for train. Yoga is an train program that is excellent for everybody. Yes, it appears slow because its. It is the slower movements that take energy and stability.. Following the lessons learnt from the past monetary crisis, most international locations have strengthened their social protection mechanisms and important health companies. Throughout the region, many progressive pro-poor financing ...

The European Commission will consult European trade unions and employers organisations on legislation for so-called platform workers, such as Uber drivers and Deliveroo delivery companies. It will focus on improving their working conditions, says the EUs day-to-day administration. The coronavirus crisis has accelerated the growth of that market, but at the same time has shown that these self-employed people are often in a vulnerable position in terms of their health, social protection and benefits.. The digital age offers great opportunities for entrepreneurs, consumers and citizens, said European Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager. The platforms can help people find new jobs and explore new business ideas. But at the same time, European values must be well integrated into the digital economy. The new forms of work must be sustainable and fair.. MEP Kim Van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) welcomes the initiative to improve the rights of platform workers. She says that is much needed. ...

Meanwhile in Venezuela, Aug. 12 marked the first year of the implementation of the National Plan to Combat Smuggling, aimed to prevent hoarding and smuggling of food and fuel, which has led to the arrest of around 6,000 people, destruction of border passageways, and the confiscation of 19,000 tons of products.. Venezuelan authorities accuse Colombian immigrants of aggravating the shortage crisis in Venezuela by hoarding and smuggling regulated and subsidized commodities and selling them across the border at five or six times their price . The Fair Prices Act sets prison terms of three to five years for the resale of these products.. About 170,000 people a day cross the 2,219 km-long Colombian-Venezuelan border..

World Bank data (September 2020) indicates that 212 countries have planned, introduced, or put in place 1179 safety net payments and other social protection measures for the most vulnerable populations. But reports also show that digital exclusion and lack of access to a bank account, in the form of a transactional or savings account or a digital wallet, continues to pose immense challenges for those in marginalized communities, especially women youth, refugees, and migrant workers in the informal sector, to recoup benefits from government relief measures such as cash transfers and subsidies, the very measures intended to help tide them over, in a quick and timely manner. Women continue to face widespread barriers to financial inclusion. Globally, of the 1.7 billion people that remain unbanked, meaning they do not hold an account at a bank or a mobile bank provider, approximately 1 billion are women and in developing countries. The 9% gender gap that existed over the last decade continues to ...

Of course, the cost savings and other benefits to capital that result from the growth of internships and other forms of contingent labour; the deskilling and growth of low- or no-pay work, and the fact that young people not only continue to endure such exploitation, but return to companies such as Disney year after year for more of the same, are a classic reflection of the profound and ever increasing power imbalance between capital and labour. In one of the most interesting chapters, Perlin explores the political economy of internships in some detail, reflecting on the way that the notion of free labour has been exported from the home into the workplace, with a consequent benefit to corporate America of $2 billion from internships alone (2010 figures).. At a time when the neoliberal state is attacking education and social protections for the young, and presiding over soaring youth unemployment figures, its fairly clear that political and economic elites are doing this because they believe they ...
