The Action Plan to Strengthen Regional Cooperation on Social Protection in Asia and the Pacific was endorsed by the Committee on Social Development at its sixth session, held on 20 and 21 October 2020, and the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) affirmed its importance in its resolutions 77/1 and 78/1. With its overall purpose being to extend social protection to all, the Action Plan serves as a shared vision, strategy and platform for members and associate members of ESCAP to promote partnerships, peer learning and the sharing of good practices. At the national level, Governments are called upon, in the framework of the Action Plan, to establish an intermediate target for social protection coverage by 2025 and to then measure progress towards achieving universal coverage by 2030. In order to achieve this objective, 12 measures to be taken at the national level have been laid out. At the regional level, the ESCAP secretariat should, in the framework of the Action Plan, develop a regional platform to facilitate peer learning and the sharing of good practices. It should also consolidate national experiences on the implementation of the Action Plan into periodic progress reports and provide technical advice and capacity-building upon request. The present document contains information on measures that have already been taken or that are being taken at the regional level to support the accelerated implementation of the Action Plan. In this regard, the Committee is invited to take note of the measures contained in the present document, to share information on the actions taken at the national level in line with the Action Plan and its 12 measures and to propose how action could be further accelerated at the national level.
