The political will of the leadership and policy makers play a key role in promoting social protection.

Week 2 Takeaways:
- Social Security as a human right
- Rights-based approach to designing SP systems and the inter-dependencies with international instruments, rights-holders, duty-bearers and the dignity of peoples
- My nation has done great with embedding the social protection within its recent development plan and much more can be done in legislation, policy and practice towards unbundling numerous grey areas around accountability, adequacy, sustainability, accessibility and availability.

- If rights-bearers are unaware of government rules, and indeed are not able to observe the implementation of social protection programmes in accordance with those rules, their ability to recognise violations and voice objections will be constrained

Social protection is a fundamental right, however, if not incorporated in the constitution and the respective legal frameworks of a country, it is difficulty to be realized. Although there might be various social protection systems in a country, their coverage, comprehensiveness, adequacy and sustainability is very important and key to achieving the AGENDA 2030.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking this module, I now recognise social protection as a human right that should be enshrined by national constitutions. Also, at the international level, social protection floors are important. ILO Social Protection Floors Recommendation, for example, gives member states guidance for building comprehensive systems by prioritising the establishment of national floors of social protection that are accessible to all in need. Social protection floors can be defined as nationally defined sets of basic social security that guarantee basic income security and effective access to goods for all in society. Unlike the social safety nets, the social protection floors are in place to ensure that everybody feels safe and secure during their entire lifecycle no matter what lifecycle risk they are encountering. Moreover, I learned that social protection is not just one programme working on its own, such as a cash transfer programme for the poor and vulnerable, but it is a system of many programmes working together in harmony.

# data[].attributes.body
The key point in this model;
-Social protection floors are nationally specified sets of basic social security guarantees that should ensure, at the very least, that all people in need have access to critical health care and a basic income throughout their lives.
- The verdict on Universal Basic Income is still pending.
Whether or not it is implemented on a broad scale in the coming years, the UBI discussion reinforces the necessity and relevance of giving a minimal level of financial security to every member of society, which is crucial to the realization of human dignity.
- For social protection systems to be sustainable, a number of prerequisites needs to be in place. Among the critical factors of ensuring sustainability are:
*Inclusive and effective social dialogue at the core of building social protection systems;
*Robust statistics and monitoring and evaluation frameworks
* Financing social protection
* Building rights-based social protection systems (including a ratification campaign)
*Financial governance and sustainability – actuarial valuations
Digital transformation
Adaptation of social protection systems to new and emerging challenges
Culture of social protection
- A set of essential social services and income security measures that all persons everywhere should enjoy throughout the lifecycle – as children, working-age adults, older persons and in access to health care through Social Protection Floor

Another great module. I now have a more systemic understanding of social protection, spanning basic guarantees and further (very broad-based!) measures that together help ensure inclusive coverage, adequacy, comprehensiveness and sustainability of the social protection system. I was also surprised to learn how poorly my country monitors, reports on and evaluates the implementation of its social protection policies.

My summary of the topic is that countries need to commit to making sure that there are minimum standards of social protection measurers that should be accessible and available to all citizens and residents, to ensure that they are protected from shocks and to reduce their risk of falling into poverty. For citizens to be reassured of these minimum standards, there is need for Social Protection to be enshrined and recognised as a right in the constitution and other legal frameworks and countries must endure financing and sustainability of the programmes. In ensuring sustainability, what i take away is that people must be consulted during programme planning to ensure they participate. In addition, traditional forms of support should not be discarded but rather enhanced.

# data[].attributes.body
regarding the key pillars of social protection, it is essential to know that the standards originate from various Fondamental sources like the Universal Declaration or National constitutions in some countries. (Not exhaustive sources). The set of policies and standards are described through the Social Protection Floors in each country. There is no discrimination of accessing to social protection benefits and those can target various profiles of vulnerable depending on some criteria. There is also obligation to inform in transparency the vulnerable people who are in need.

My major take on this module, is the knowledge on social protection floor that are supposed to accessible and available for persons in need of them. The contributory and non-contributory schemes of social protection and Labour Market-Policies and interventions:

Active LMPs such as work sharing, training, job searching services. Passive LMPs such as maternity benefits, injury compensation, sickness benefits for those in work, changes in legislation (minimum wages, safe working conditions) etc.

Cash transfer, care policies and the universal basic income and some world statistics on the world social protection.

The module is rich with much information regarding the social protection floors, systems, and the legalization of social protection.
I have enriched my knowledge with much new information on building social protection floors, aspects of universal social protection, social protection legal instruments, social protection programs, and social protection as a main human right.

# data[].attributes.body
My key takeaways from this module are:
- social protection is a basic human right
- while countries, in particular Nigeria has welfare considerations embedded within the Constitution, there is still a fair way to go mainstream it towards ensuring it really is a basic human right for everyone that needs it
- It is important to ensure vulnerable classes are adequately covered and considered in policy and law-making processes and are given the opportunity to be part of the decision/consultative process to ensure they are not left behind

# data[].attributes.body
The module was important for me to understand the different levels of social protections systems and the gaps we have in the world in terms of coverage and comprehensiveness. The facts that social protection is a constitutional right to many countries and that the ILO is continuously working towards helping States towards extending social protection for all are also very interesting.

My key takeaways; my country Uganda is one of those countries whose constitution has a provision for social protection; my country has not ratified the convention no. 102: Social Security (Minimum Standards) and yet it is crucial as regards social protection, 1952; the four key aspects of Universal Social Protection must be put into consideration when designing social protection interventions.

my key message is that social protection is a wide area and is a process that is life cycle where different people are involved at a different stage of life and every human being have right and that is "social protection"

My Key takeaways  are the following:
1. What Social Protection Floor means.
2. What Universal Social Protection Means and its dimensions
3. The fact that Social Protection is a basic right and not all countries/nations have enshrined SP in their constitutions which to me is sad indeed!

As takeaways from this module 2:

- Social protection has been recognized as a human right in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

- Sustainability of social protection systems is often looked through the lens of financial sustainability of the systems.

- The Universal Basic Income (UBI) is defined by BIEN Network as a periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement." In addition to this, it is non-withdrawable, non-sanctionable, and paid to all citizens or legal residents.

My key take away is that social protection is not just one single policy, but rather a system of policies that contain both a basic SP floor to meet the basic needs across all life cycles, as well as other types of contributory schemes & income guarantees that are deeply grounded in rights-based international SP legal frameworks.

Jackline Omondi, CIHEB-KENYA. My take home is that social protection is a human right for all and with the rise in job and income insecurities associated with changing forms of work in context of globalization the possible solution is Universal basic income, periodic, unconditional though very expensive and tried in two countries, I would want to see nations pilot this.
