My organization (OCHA) ca advocate for social protection on three levels. The first one is with the government by encouraging them to improve the enrollment and delivery system at the same time expand it to be more inclusive and comprehensive. The second is at organizations level by enhancing inter-sectorial cash response that help people to cover their various needs and protect them from precarious work or negative coping mechanisms. The third is at donors level to fund both humanitarian and development social protection whether resulted from shocks and conflict or from increasing inequalities or climate change.

There is a a huge need for sensitization and mass education on matters social protection among the local population especially in the informal sector category. Just like it was portrayed in the above video in Mozambique, the story is similar to the Ugandan context, where i live. 80 per cent of the GDP is in the hands of the informal sector workers and these lack social protection mechanisms as majority of them live from hand to mouth with less consideration for savings for a rainy day, later alone the future to come. In the unfortunate event of death, these informal workers will have barely nothing left behind for their families and dependants.

The National Social Security Fund being a social insurance scheme ought to bring on board informal workers in the scheme to help them save for their old age.

The  precarious nature of the informal employment sector presents an urgent need for those informally employed to start saving early for their retirement benefits and not to hope that they will fall back to social assistance mechanisms provided by the government and other humanitarian organisations.

There is therefore the need to create continuous advocacy initiatives and ensure they cast a wide net to reach to the uninsured who mostly form a big chunk of the 'missing middle'.
In creating these advocacy initiatives, it is essential to partner with all the associations for the various informal employment industries.

Currently an Independent Development practitioner, therefore I will leverage consultancies that succinctly document and amplify the rights-holder/duty-bearer responsibilities for social protection. I shall also maximise advocacy opportunities that networks/platforms and work engagements for social justice/protection (using a gendered lens also) bring in order to elevate the need for public & civic sector partnerships for auditing, evaluating and reporting on SP systems. Lastly, I believe in telling the SP stories as a tool for influencing policy, as well as my emerging research exposures, so that will feature greatly in my SP work.

For Zimbabwe, constrained delivery of essential social services (education, health, water, and sanitation) and the provision of social protection, against the backdrop of increasing frequency and intensity of climatic shocks exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic are devastating the most vulnerable and pushing them further behind.  In order to build long-term resilience, UNICEF focus should be on strengthening social responsive protection systems and catalysing collaborative and transformative partnerships, in order to build longterm resilience.

In my organization, we integrated a holistic approach to sustainable development, highlighting the relevance and pertinence of social security as key components of planning and Implementation, with the same importance of Environmental Protection and economic growth. Aligning our business model to SDGs, there are more possibilities to advise and guide organizations and decision makers towards sustainable development, seeking inclusiveness to "not let one behind" for a just "Building Back Better" strategy.

The Ministry of Human Resources, together with the Ministry of Rural Development and the Economic Planning Unit should sit-together and put their heads together in re-visiting all the current SPFs presently enforced and to identify its relevancy in meeting the said objectives. They should be prepared to introduce new SPFs with the expectation to always keeping abreast in terms of coverage, comprehensiveness, adequacy and sustainability.... with the ultimate aim that the programs offered are sustainable in the long term towards providing the relevant benefits.
