Today we launched the Child Marriage Monitoring Mechanism - to increase the use of data to strengthen accountability for the elimination of #ChildMarriage. Together, with concerted efforts, we can #EndChildMarriage by 2030 as set out by the #GlobalGoals. #ChartingBrighterFutures

As a result of #COVID19, 10 million more girls are at risk of #ChildMarriage in this decade. We need to accelerate action to #EndChildMarriage, to ensure we reach the #GlobalGoals #SDG5 and eliminate the practice by 2030. #ChartingBrighterFutures

What will it take to more fully realize the potential of social protection to help communities be better protected from shocks?

The response to the COVID-19 shock shows how “adaptive” social protection can expand on a temporary basis in response to a shock by expanding to a larger pool of beneficiaries or by providing larger benefits (or both). blogs.worldbank.org/climatechange/… via @worldbank

To increase social protection coverage we also need a decisive shift towards financing models based on general taxation, instead of contributory systems based on payroll retentions and largely limited to formal sector workers. blogs.worldbank.org/jobs/covid-19-… via @worldbank

Currently, there are 130 new cash initiatives that have been introduced as COVID-19 responses. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via @worldbank

Once the pandemic wanes, governments should waste no time in enhancing existing social safety net systems to make them more responsive to shocks in the future.

Putting in place social protection systems that can respond to an emergency efficiently and at scale will help manage the devastating effects of the largest pandemic of our lifetime. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via @worldbank

Already, 126 countries have introduced or adapted social protection and labor market policies in response to COVID-19, with 505 measures currently in place. blogs.worldbank.org/voices/how-soc… via @worldbank
