Despite an increasing number of countries investing in social protection during the COVID-19 pandemic, social protection systems still do not systematically include people living with HIV and key populations. One thing that the pandemic has shown is that it is possible to rapidly expand or launch social protection measures to cover those who are otherwise unprotected. However, people living with HIV and other key populations did not always benefit. The Global AIDS Strategy 2021-2026 highlights the key role of people-centred social protection and calls for an intensified push to encourage meaningful, equitable investments by diverse sectors in inclusive, HIV-sensitive social protection. The UNDP and ILO pre-conference will launch a checklist on inclusive social protection for people living with HIV and key populations and discuss the results of the pilot assessments of national social protection systems. The session will also showcase good practice and strategies from different regions.
