A N A LY S I S LABOUR AND SOCIAL JUSTICE A GLOBAL FUND FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION Views from Selected Low-income Countries Charles Lwanga-Ntale April 2022 The voices of low-income countries(LICs) in the social protection discourse are not yet being listened to, and more must be done to in­crease their participation throughout the Global Fund for Social Protection(GFSP) programme cycle. Conceptual clarity and policy coherence by the social pro­tection fraternity are crucial for the sector to be strategic and to communicate a consistent message to all stakeholders. To commit to initiatives like the Global Fund for Social Protec­tion while avoiding further in­debtedness LICs need guar­antees for long-term financing of social protection.
