EADI eNewsletter #12/2012 (Dec): Outlook 2013
Bonner Impulse: Social protection in EU development cooperation
In its recent communication on “Social Protection in European Union Development Cooperation”, the EU affirms the value of social protection for overcoming socio-economic inequalities and for promoting inclusive growth. Social protection is defined as a set of “policies and actions that enhance the capacity of all people, but notably poor and vulnerable groups, to escape from poverty, or avoid falling into poverty, and better manage risks and shocks”. It includes both social securities, such as income security, and access to essential services, most notably health and education.
How will the Union translate its values and commitments into concrete action in partner countries? This and more questions will be discussed at a panel on 20 February 2013, in Bonn.
