"The authors suggest a simple, feasible, pragmatic and affordable global strategy to support the attainment of social protection for all as a central means to combat poverty, inequality, insecurity and ill health; the strategy involves: Establishing a new international standard of universal social protection or universal social protection floors to extend the policy space for social protection on the national level and Pivotal, targeted support for the temporary extension of national fiscal space for social protection in the poorest countries through a Global Fund for Social Protection or a similar financing facility."
