It estimates the impact of introducing social protection programmes on poverty and inequality and computes the relative cost of simulated programme(s), providing different illustrative options to expand fiscal space for social protection. Users are able to delve into different policy options where various social protection programmes are introduced in a country, by setting parameters related to eligibility criteria, coverage levels, and transfer values. </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Link</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://www.socialprotection-toolbox.org/simulation-tool">https://www.socialprotection-toolbox.org/simulation-tool</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2020-11/Social%20Protection%20Simulation%20Tool.png" width="340" height="265" alt="Social Protection Simulation Tool" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg1-no-poverty" hreflang="en">SDG1 No Poverty</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg3-good-health-and-well-being" hreflang="en">SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg10-reduced-inequalities" hreflang="en">SDG10 Reduced Inequalities</a></div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/node/1811" data-a2a-title="Social Protection Simulation Tool"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Wed, 18 Nov 2020 01:43:39 +0000 cmortelliti 1811 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Assessing the impact of COVID-19 in Asia and the Pacific and designing policy responses: An Excel-based model http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/node/1656 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Assessing the impact of COVID-19 in Asia and the Pacific and designing policy responses: An Excel-based model</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Tue, 18/08/2020</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p align="justify">COVID-19 is an unprecedented socio-economic crisis and calls for unprecedented policy responses.
