Poster for the Rendez-vous de l'Expertise on social protection

LSocial protection, an essential pillar in the construction of a balanced society, transcends national borders and brings together a variety of entities, from public institutions to businesses and civil society.

It's not just a safety net against the vagaries of life, such as unemployment, illness or disability.
