The International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) is a joint project between the United Nations Development Programme and the Brazilian Government to facilitate South-South Cooperation on key development issues. The Centre carries out applied research and its ultimate goal is to generate knowledge resources to the global development community.
Within a broad partnership framework regarding knowledge-sharing on social protection, initiated by the G20 Development Working Group, the IPC-IG is contributing towards a multi-dimensional policy agenda, building on its renowned global outreach and advocacy portfolio. One of the IPC-IG’s key offerings is the support to knowledge-sharing and capacity building on current practices as well as forward-looking social protection policy innovations in low- and middle-income countries through policy dialogue and support to comparative research.
The platform socialprotection.org was launched on the 12th of September 2015. This member-based online platform is dedicated to social protection, which is a policy approach that impacts millions of poor and vulnerable people worldwide. The goal of socialprotection.org is to foster knowledge-sharing and capacity strengthening on efficient social protection policies and programmes, by drawing on the experiences of low-income (LICs) and middle-income (MICs) countries.
The platform is financially supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ). Since its launch, socialprotection.org has gathered more than 4,600 members and amassed over 5,300 publications. It has organized over 120 webinars in cooperation with a wide range of partners and hosts over 40 multi-language Online Communities.
