The 2-day symposium on “Social Protection Systems – Tying the Knots” provided the floor for about 200 practitioners, policy-makers and researchers from 58 countries on September 5-6 to exchange and discuss advances and challenges in social protection system building.
The first day of the symposium in Bonn started off with keynote speeches and panel discussions, reflecting on the importance of flexible and adaptive systems for low but also for high-come countries and the international challenges that these systems have to respond to. The second day gave room to practitioners and academics to present their latest research findings around system-strengthening in the form of papers and posters. Selected speakers presented their research around the themes of conceptual variations of social protection systems, effective linkages between social protection interventions and different ways of how to analyse the performance of social protection systems.
Jan Van Ongevalle and Sarah Vaes both presented preliminary research findings of our ongoing studies on social protection in the paper session on “system variation – ceonceptual variation of social protection systems”. The papers we submitted can be found here:
- Paper 1: Role of Civil Society Organisations in the Advancement of Social Protection Systems - Sarah Vaes, Jan Van Ongevalle, Bénédicte Fonteneau (HIVA-KU Leuven)
- Paper 2: Power Play Behind the Scene of Redistributive Social Protection Systems? Lessons from Senegal - Jan van Ongevalle, Sarah Vaes, Bénédicte Fonteneau (HIVA-KU Leuven)
A full report of the symposium is also available, including feedback received on the paper.
