This technical plan is a call to action to address core issues related to social protection. It presents Action Against Hunger´s commitments and contributions to collective efforts to strengthen government-led systems. It focuses on five critical changes necessary to expand social protection today to end poverty and hunger tomorrow and on its own nutrition-sensitive contribution. It provides a diagnosis of key challenges and the specific solutions needed to turn things around over the coming years regarding social protection.
