description:

Investment in the process is important, especially where solutions are contested (wicked problems). While the JP has produced valuable products, arriving at a consensus is challenged by the multiplicity of voices in social protection. Recognition of the difficulty of generating consensus positions calls for more inclusive processes that bring different voices into the same spaces for engagement. Illustrative examples include the divergent voices on the feasibility of a basic income grant, differences on approaches to addressing poverty through employment, and calls for greater focus on improving the efficiency of existing social expenditures before adding on new commitments. The various positions are not incompatible. Rather, they could constitute a package of social protection reforms.

context:

There should be a coordination framework for facilitating consensus building.
