Accelerating Decent Jobs and Social Protection: A view from Malawi and Albania

Decent jobs and universal social protection are fundamental building blocks to a resilient economy and a thriving society. Fair paying jobs and social security nets- by way of insurance and pension can help rescue vulnerable populations from further falling into poverty. For transformation at scale to happen, more public and private investments into national social protection systems around the world are needed.  

UN Resident Coordinators and UN Teams around the world are acting as conduits for additional financing and coordinating programmes that build institutional capacity and advance services for marginalized groups- including people with disabilities, children and youth, women, rural populations are more.

In this conversation, Cynthia Samuel-Olonjuwon, Special Representative and Director of the International Labour Organization to the UN sits down with Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, UN Resident Coordinator in Malawi and Fiona McCluney, UN Resident Coordinator in Albania to discuss how the UN is coming together to transform policies and finance for inclusivem decent jobs and social protection.
