AN INSP!RING NETWORK

The objective of INSP!R is to contribute to universal social protection and to claim the leading role of civil society in the implementation of national, comprehensive and widely supported social protection policies. 

Key principles for successful social protection policies:

We follow a rights-based approach (anchored in national, regional and/or international regulations);

The actors of the network manage a combination of several measures (prevention, protection, promotion) to provide benefits (in cash and/or in kind) to individuals; 

INSP!R encourage the effective participation of multiple stakeholders (State, civil society, private sector) to permanently transform the existing policy; 

The need for multiple sources to ensure sustainable funding is crucial (national and international); and a life-cycle approach (from birth to death).
