June 2024 – December 2024
Brazil, the current president of the G20, has proposed the establishment of a Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty. Within this Global Alliance, Brazil has established a specific G20 Task Force to discuss it.
The British Embassy Brasilia requested STAAR’s support in providing a social protection specialist to ensure social protection mainstreaming in the design of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty through the G20 Task Force (TF) during the Brazilian Presidency.
The support included tracking and reviewing the studies commissioned by the TF, developing its foundational documents, and supporting the selection of evidence-based policy instruments to fight poverty and hunger – ensuring that social protection is a core component of this work and that there is a strong focus on climate change and crisis response. Additionally, it involved facilitating knowledge sharing of these policy instruments among G20 countries.
