Week 5: Financing of Social Protection

FAO, in partnership with the Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI), presents the fifth session of the tailored e-learning course on Designing and Implementing Adaptive Social Protection Systems. This session is led by Dr. Michael Samson, Director of Research at EPRI, and focuses on financing social protection. It reflects, first, on how much social protection costs through dynamic costing models, then on how can social protection interventions be funded. Finally, it looks at where new sources of financing for social protection are as well as how social protection can be expanded and sustained over time.
