As a result of #COVID19, 10 million more girls are at risk of #ChildMarriage in this decade. We need to accelerate action to #EndChildMarriage, to ensure we reach the #GlobalGoals #SDG5 and eliminate the practice by 2030. #ChartingBrighterFutures

Already, 126 countries have introduced or adapted social protection and labor market policies in response to COVID-19, with 505 measures currently in place. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via World Bank

Putting in place social protection systems that can respond to an emergency efficiently and at scale will help manage the devastating effects of the largest pandemic of our lifetime. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via World Bank

Once the pandemic wanes, governments should waste no time in enhancing existing social safety net systems to make them more responsive to shocks in the future.

Currently, there are 130 new cash initiatives that have been introduced as COVID-19 responses. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via World Bank

To increase social protection coverage we also need a decisive shift towards financing models based on general taxation, instead of contributory systems based on payroll retentions and largely limited to formal sector workers. blogs.worldbank.org/jobs/covid-19-… via World Bank

The response to the COVID-19 shock shows how “adaptive” social protection can expand on a temporary basis in response to a shock by expanding to a larger pool of beneficiaries or by providing larger benefits (or both). blogs.worldbank.org/climatechange/… via World Bank

What will it take to more fully realize the potential of social protection to help communities be better protected from shocks?
