Global Forum on Adaptive Social Protection

Global Forum on Adaptive Social Protection

/ News, News, Get together

The pro­tec­tion of life and liveli­hoods was the major topic of the Glo­bal Forum from June 13 – 15, 2023 with us at AXICA. This important con­fe­rence was orga­ni­zed by the Ger­man Fede­ral Minis­try for Eco­no­mic Coope­ra­ti­on and Deve­lo­p­ment in coope­ra­ti­on with the World Bank Group.
The Forum pro­vi­ded an oppor­tu­ni­ty for poli­cy makers, prac­ti­tio­ners and social pro­tec­tion experts to joint­ly explo­re and dis­cuss the scope and poten­ti­al of Adap­ti­ve Social Pro­tec­tion (ASP) to streng­then resi­li­ence in the face of mul­ti­ple, over­lap­ping cri­ses in all count­ries around the world and to pro­mo­te adapt­a­ti­on.
More than 300 par­ti­ci­pan­ts from 60 dif­fe­rent count­ries atten­ded in per­son, inclu­ding repre­sen­ta­ti­ves from govern­ments, inter­na­tio­nal orga­niza­ti­ons, aca­de­mia, and the pri­va­te sec­tor. Live­streams of the ope­ning, clo­sing and ple­na­ry ses­si­ons were view­ed over 4000 times. 100 spea­k­ers, mode­ra­tors and panelists con­tri­bu­ted to the 18 ses­si­ons hos­ted by deve­lo­p­ment orga­niza­ti­ons and part­ners inclu­ding UKAID/STAAR, ADB, Insu­Re­si­li­ence, ILO, PEI, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNU-EHS, WFP and FAO.
In addi­ti­on to the lar­ge forum, our ple­na­ry and sky lob­by pro­vi­ded space for par­al­lel ses­si­ons and side events. Our spa­cious foy­er and adja­cent con­fe­rence rooms and audi­to­ri­um were used throug­hout the day for hos­pi­ta­li­ty and bila­te­ral discussions.

After the event, we recei­ved won­derful feed­back, which Pro­ject Mana­ger Dewi­ya­na Fau­zan and the enti­re AXICA team were deligh­ted about:
„AXICA gave the Glo­bal Forum on Adap­ti­ve Social Pro­tec­tion an excep­tio­nal home and thus a fit­ting set­ting for the topic of social pro­tec­tion. The impres­si­ve archi­tec­tu­re, the uni­que ambi­ence, the excel­lent ser­vice befo­re and during the event as well as the high­ly pro­fes­sio­nal and always plea­sant coope­ra­ti­on con­tri­bu­ted to the fact that the event was a com­ple­te suc­cess and will remain in posi­ti­ve memo­ry of the par­ti­ci­pan­ts for a long time. A heart­felt thank you for this!„
