This report documents the discussion and sharing which took place at the South South Knowledge Collaboration workshop on Designing and Implementing Social Protection Programs for Employment, hosted by the Government of the Philippines, German Development Cooperation (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation), and DFAT in Manila in May 2017. The workshop was the second in a series of events to explore social protection and employment pathways, and focused on countries’ operational experience of implementing social protection programmes for employment. The workshop explored nine case studies attempting to promote employment through social protection provision using a range of different approaches in different regions. The interventions discussed at the workshop were: 1. public employment programmes, 2. cash transfers, 3. complementary interventions to promote employment and sustainable livelihoods outcomes (including graduation and sustainable livelihoods programmes offering microfinance, micro-enterprise training, and in-kind asset provision), and 4. Active Labour Market Programmes.
