Social Protection Programs
Social protection programs are initiatives designed to help individuals and families meet basic needs, especially in times of crisis. They provide financial assistance, healthcare, and social services to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, unemployed, or low-income families. Common examples include unemployment benefits, food assistance, and pensions. These programs aim to reduce poverty and inequality, promote social inclusion, and support economic stability. By offering a safety net, social protection helps ensure that everyone has access to essential resources and opportunities for better living standards.
