Social protection floor actor survey: Reflecting on 12 years of joint work on social protection

We are sharing this brief survey questionnaire to solicit feedback from those practitioners and policymakers working for governments, civil society, workers and employers organisations, UN agencies and development partners who have been involved in joint work on social protection, either in the initial conception of the Social Protection Floor Initiative in 2009 or subsequent work on social protection in HQs, regions or countries, up until to the present day. Your experiences and opinions will allow us to take stock of the progress of this joint work and consider the future direction of this collaboration. This will indicate how efforts can be systematically developed to advance collaboration and coordination to make social protection a reality for all. We would be most grateful if you would complete this short survey.

If you think others would be interested in responding please share this link with your colleagues or network.
