Communication on the achievements of the Programme are systematically recorded in the Results Monitoring Tool. The tool gathers information on projects, activities, results and impact achieved, reports on key indicators including the application of international labour standards, and provides a narrative beyond the ILO and project reporting cycle.
Country and thematic pages consolidate information on the social protection situation and ILO support at country/thematic level, showcase relevant knowledge resources and include funding opportunities.

Development partners are important contributors, with their strong involvement crucial for achieving policy coherence at country level, and in creating a global coalition for social protection, such as USP2030. They participate in the annual meetings of the Flagship Programme and provide strategic guidance through its Global Tripartite Advisory Committee. Contributing to the Programme multiplies the impact of individual contributions and increases visibility.
The overall budget for implementing the Flagship Programme’s second phase is 160 million USD, of which 81 per cent will be allocated to in-country support, 15 per cent to cross-country policy advice and 4 per cent to the management of the Flagship programme.
Our resource gap is 70 million USD - potential partners can join the ILO today to help meet our goals and change the lives of millions of people.
