The Global Flagship Programme has already supported over 104 institutional changes. The Programme identified eight thematic areas that are key elements for building strong and sustainable social protection systems. 

The panel discussion showcases achievements in making social protection schemes more effective through ratifying and applying international social security standards, strengthening legal frameworks, improving administrative and financial governance, leveraging adequate financing, and creating strong social dialogue and partnerships to advocate for universal coverage. 

Panellists also highlight key challenges and opportunities for building robust systems to contribute to shaping the next phase of the programme.
