Podcast: Social protection as an SDG accelerator
Organizer: socialprotection.org
In this episode, we are talking about social protection and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent triple crisis of food, energy and finance have set back progress towards the SDGs. Social protection is seen as an SDG accelerator that can contribute to many, even most of the SDG targets from ending poverty and hunger to improving gender equality and access to health and education, and even tackling inequality and climate change.
But can we make enough progress in the time left to achieve the SDGs?
Our guest on this episode, Nenad Rava -Head of programmes at the Joint SDG Fund -talks about how social protection interventions can catalyse change and progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
