Social Protection Network

A Social Protection Network has been established to bring together ADB staff involved in the sector.

The Network aims to

  • continue exchange of experiences and good practices, cutting edge theoretical approaches, information on international events, conferences, training, and professional opportunities
  • assist in the adequate implementation of the ADB Social Protection Strategy in DMCs, including preparation of country strategies, design of projects, and monitoring implementation and progress
  • serve as link to outside organizations working on social protection and ensure that a social protection knowledge management system is established within ADB
