Social Protection COP- Uganda Chapter

Today! MPs and the Budget. We are out with our members to specify target the NBFPFY23/24 discussions in @Parliament_Ug through a social protection lense. #socialprotectionUg #UGBudget23

Social Protection in the budget "Social protection issues are lifecycle issues. At whatever stage of life we are at, we have a social protection need that should be catered for. " UPFSP Coordinator, @katabaazi25 at the ongoing MPs training. #socialprotectionUg #UGBudget23

"As MPs you are a critical majority as far as articulating issues of social protection. This is intended to ensure that you articulate these issues in the entire budget cycle," UPFSP Chairperson @Kabahendaflavia #UGBudget23 #SocialprotectionUg

"Many people still view social protection spending as consumptive. I am glad that reports such as these continously highlight that social protection interventions are very critical in reducing the poverty levels for countries such as Uganda" @katabaazi25 #PovertyStatusReport

"Parliament can be a gatekeeper to open doors for social protection debates. The budget for SAGE for example was cut by 80%. It had to take the intervention of MPs to call on the @mofpedU to revisit the idea of a blanket cut on subventions" @katabaazi25 #PovertyStatusReport

Our coordinator, @katabaazi25 has set the conversation in motion at the Imperial Royale Hotel. UPFSP-UPPA training. #SocialprotectioninMedia #SocialprotectionUg

At 0.7% of GDP, Uganda still has the lowest expenditure despite the high levels of vulnerability. #socialprotectioninMedia #socialprotectionUg

Thank you @NIRA_Ug. Ensuring clarity on processes is critical in service delivery. We look forward to more engagements and ensuring our people are well served.

Awareness needs to be done as we approach the mass registration by @NIRA_Ug . This will help reduce exclusions and non registration. @upfsp chairperson, @Kabahendaflavia making closing remarks.

Social protection is critical in ensuring that when people are faced with social & economic challenges, there is a s/s to protect & prevent them from falling into poverty or becoming vulnerable. Pic: @WFP Ritah Namwiza taking participants thru' child sensitive social protection

The national ID is an enabler for social protection delivery. An effective MIS is fundamental for ensuring no one is left behind. "You can not protect people that you do not know" @NIRA_Ug Edwin Tukamuhebwa, Manager Operations #NIDs4SocialProtection #SocialprotectionUg

We all have a story when it comes to civil registration- National IDs, Birth certificate, death certificates....how can @NIRA_Ug serve better? Join the conversation #NIDS4SocialProtection #SocialProtectionUg
