| There is a large variety of policies and institutions that can be used to reach the goal of social security for all. The basis for such as strategy is a comprehensive diagnosis of people' social security needs and of the various actors and institutions. Statutory social security schemes can extend existing or modified benefits to previously excluded groups or contingencies. They may also enhance their effectiveness through improved governance and design. New schemes may have to be developed. It is also fundamental to encourage and support the development of innovative decentralised social security schemes to provide social protection through community or group support. Finally, it is vital that all actors and institutions work together within the context of a national policy framework, so that sustainable linkages can be developed between schemes that serve different parts of the populations. Priority will be given to finding ways of providing relevant and effective coverage to workers in the informal sector and their families. The goals of the global campaign can only be fully achieved in partnership with national institutions and policy makers, employers and workers organizations, key actors from various groups in civil society and in collaboration with other international organizations and development agencies. |
