Narrative description of Project:
Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs elaborates and implements the policy of the Government on labor and social protection. The Government puts strong emphasis on poverty reduction through job creation and education, including eradication of extreme poverty and reducing poverty substantially, which goes in line with the sustainable development agenda and the notion of leaving no child behind. In the field of social protection, the focus rests on increasing inclusiveness, equity, targeting and effectiveness of social protection schemes, as well as continuation of the integrated social services reform in the country in conjunction with other reforms and adoption of a human-centered and lifecycle approach, especially in the wake of the dual crisis of COVID-19 and conflict.
The purpose of this assignment was to support MoLSA and UNICEF in the developing labor and social protection sector development umbrella strategy, including conceptual and monitoring frameworks, in line with national and international commitments and requirements and in alignment with the sustainable development agenda.
