Poverty and Social Protection Floor. The case of Egypt

The ILO has supported the launching of an Egyptian Social Protection Floor. The four guarantee of the Social Protection Floor (SPF) are used as benchmarks to describe existing social protection, employment promotion and poverty alleviation schemes, identify policy gaps and implementation issues, and draft recommendations to guarantee at least a floor of social protection benefits to all people. The Social Protection Floor process involves the initiation of national dialogue with all stakeholders in social protection. This national dialogue will leads to the preparation of an assessment matrix of the social protection, comprising a gap analysis of the legal provisions, identifying the implementation issues.
