Resumen (inglés)

From February 2017 to May 2018, the Presidentʼs Office of Tajikistan engaged ministries and government agencies, employer and worker organizations, civil society organizations and development agencies in a national dialogue on social protection. The objective was to agree on recommendations for a national social protection floor. These recommendations were used to inform the Governmentʼs actions to improve social protection programmes, its Action Plan for transition from informal to formal employment and its Concept for Productive Employment until 2045. Their relevance resonates with recent attempts to draft a National Social Protection Strategy 2030. 

The national dialogue process was conducted using the Assessment-based National Dialogue (ABND) methodology. The ABND assessed the social protection system in Tajikistan, built a consensus around recommendations to complete the national social protection floor (SPF), estimated its cost and presented the findings to policymakers for endorsement.
