Etude sur les travaux a haute intensite de main d'oeuvre

To examine the link between social protection and climate change, lessons learned from representative experiences across the four (4) objectives outlined in this concept note will be gathered and consolidated. Case studies will comprise a four-page (4) written brief outlining details of the program or policy, including the political history, current functioning and administration features, impact on people’s lives and effects on the environment or climate, as well as future trajectory. In complement to these written briefs, a video documenting the program or policy will also be produced to illustrate similar features using a more dynamic format. This series will serve as an important and seminal first step towards creating a better understanding the potential synergies and conflicts at play in these two policy areas. This knowledge will contribute to the global knowledge base on social protection and on climate change, help the UN system and its partners improve the delivery of technical assistance in these areas and, ultimately, improve social protection and environmental outcomes in the countries where the UN operates.
