📋 Tender Overview
Social protection is a human right and is anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in Goal 1.3 and Goal 10.4. It is key to the sustainable and inclusive economic and social development of individuals, communities and nations.
Digital solutions to improve the delivery of social protection services (information management, records, and delivery of social benefits and services) have become increasingly important and prevalent in recent years. However, they are often improvised and fragmented, due to the absence of a common strategy that includes, for example, digital standards at national, regional and global levels. This lack of harmonization and interoperability has negative consequences on the outcomes of social protection policies , such as the reduction of multidimensional poverty. It also creates administrative and time burdens for beneficiaries, who must visit multiple government offices to collect the necessary information and documentation, in turn generating inefficiencies in public spending, as it hinders the systematic monitoring of the performance of social protection systems.
This programme focuses on addressing these challenges specifically by focusing on the digitalisation and interoperability of partner countries' social protection systems, in line with international standards.
The programme is implemented under a Team Europe approach by GIZ (main implementing partner), in partnership with Expertise France and FIIAPP, together with the ILO and the World Bank.
The aim of the project is to contribute to the achievement of Universal Social Protection 2030 through the standardisation and interoperability of digital social protection systems at national, regional and global levels.
