Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 59 | Social Protection and Humanitarian Assistance in Forced Displacement Settings
Q: Mattia, can we start off by talking about how displacement dynamics are changing and what it means for social protection?
Displacement is becoming protracted and urbanized, with refugees often living in host communities; this requires strengthening national systems and linking them with humanitarian responses to provide durable protection rather than parallel, ad hoc mechanisms.
Ep. 58 | Ending Hunger and Poverty: The Role of the Global Alliance
Q: Kevin, staying with the policy basket for a moment, what do you see as being some of those most effective interventions that countries can use and adapt to address poverty and hunger?
Direct cash transfers and school feeding programs are critical interventions that provide immediate support to vulnerable populations.
Ep. 58 | Ending Hunger and Poverty: The Role of the Global Alliance
Q: Renato, the Global Alliance for Poverty and Hunger was established a year ago during Brazil's Presidency of the G20. Can you start us off by telling us what is it, why was it established and who are the members of the Global Alliance?
The Global Alliance was created to accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2, aiming to keep the fight against poverty high on the international agenda.
Ep. 51 | Financing for Social Protection: Turning Commitments into Action
Q: How are you advocating for countries to increase their domestic spending on social protection?
We're emphasizing that social protection is an investment in human rights and stability, advocating for examples like Nepal which built a comprehensive system despite low income.
Ep. 51 | Financing for Social Protection: Turning Commitments into Action
Q: What alternative or complementary sources of financing should countries consider or try to access to support sustainable development and social protection?
Countries must enhance domestic resource mobilization, strengthen progressive taxation, and explore international solidarity mechanisms.
