Global platform connecting individuals and organizations in the social protection area will host WWP publications and virtual seminars
Brasilia, July 4th, 2016 – Two important knowledge products of the Brazil Learning Initiative for a World without Poverty (World without Poverty, WWP) have gained a new outlet: WWP publications and webinars will be accessed at socialprotection.org, an open, neutral and collaborative platform for sharing knowledge on social protection.
The documents exclusively published by WWP (a total of 44 since 2014 ) will be available on socialprotection.org. The new arrangement should be completed by September this year.
The virtual seminars will be held every two months through the webinars service offered by this interactive, user-friendly platform. A total of four sessions will be organized, addressing subjects in response to widespread demand by WWP´s followers and socialprotection.org.
The first meeting, scheduled for July 12, will be devoted to the topic “Access to and dissemination of information of the Bolsa Família Program.” The panelist, Cibelle Colmanetti e Souza is the Technical Analyst for Social Policies of the Ministry of Social and Agrarian Development. You can register your attendance on the platform and also visit the events page for more information .
The partnership with socialprotection.org will provide greater visibility to the information produced by WWP, and will inevitably strengthen the exchange of experiences on socialprotection.org.
According to the platform´s manager, Alicia Spengler, this new partnership is a “a big step towards the knowledge sharing on Brazilian social policies worldwide, potentially engaging other players in this important learning process.”
Both initiatives aim to generate knowledge about the fostering and implementation of innovative and effective social protection policies across the world.
