The aim of the workshop is to equip participants with practical skills to inform social protection policies and programmes with inclusive evidence. It will underscore the importance of aligning national social protection policies and strategies with global agendas and overarching principles, including the outcomes of the Summit of the Future and its Pact for the Future. Building upon insights gained from the national capacity building workshops undertaken as an initial step of the project, the workshop will train participants to access and effectively utilize the United Nations' and UN-promoted third parties’ social protection toolsets that seek to amplify the reach and efficacy of social protection programs, including the multidimensional poverty index (MPI), the Social Protection Simulator and the Social Protection to Leave No One Behind (SP2LNOB) App. Further objectives are to share experiences and enhance partnerships, including those between policymakers in the Africa and Asia-Pacific regions. Workshop deliberations will inform informed by the draft outcome document of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development and the Second World Summit for Social Development that will be held in Doha, Qatar from 4-6 November 2025.
