The Covid-19 outbreak and impact on the healthcare system and on provision of health services, along with its restrictions on travel and movement, has notably brought to the fore of the public debate questions of exclusionary provision of health, of necessity of inclusive social protections schemes, steady formal employment, or high income in case of privatised healthcare among others. This webinar posits the necessity to rethink social policy in the SWANA region, and more specifically social protection, based on the principle of universalism (versus the notion of targeting). It will discuss to which extent the adequate and rights based institutionalisation of social protection can be perceived as the pillar of a social contract between the state and its citizens, and will reflect on the efficiency of a citizenship paradigm versus a charity and targeting based one.
