Social Protection

We passionately support social protection for people in the developing world - whether in the form of cash payments, such as pensions, or insurance.

Here's why. Life in developing countries is full of risks and shocks, such as natural disasters or the deaths of breadwinners. And financial destitution can easily result.

Investing in older people and their families

Social protection provides secure incomes for people in old age and it provides long term benefits too. For instance, people often invest their payments in their family's future by educating children or setting up businesses.

Pensions are a crucial form of social protection  and we're pushing hard for governments to bring them in for all older people.

To make this vision a reality, we work closely with governments and partner organisations, as well as sharing expertise in how to design and implement pension schemes
