Mission and objectivessocialprotection.org is an online, member-based, knowledge-sharing and capacity-strengthening platform, open to social protection practitioners, policymakers, and experts, as well as academics and students. The platform was launched on 12 September 2015, answering to a recommendation from the G20 Development Working Group in the aftermath of the triple crisis of the late 2000s to foster global knowledge-sharing on social protection policies. Thanks to the contributions of its members, collaboration with stakeholders, and the dedication of the socialprotection.org team, it directs access to the most up-to-date and comprehensive content on social protection, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. It provides free access to a plethora of interactive features, such as searchable databases of social protection publications, blogs, news, events, multimedia, databases, social protection programmes and legal and policy frameworks. Members can join Online Communities dedicated to prominent social protection topics and exchange Knowledge and collaborate. They can also access innovative learning tools, such as online courses, podcasts, webinars, livestream events, and be informed of the latest job and academic opportunities available in the field. In addition, the platform allows for members to contribute to the platform by submitting social protection-related content.
