      Description
      The Ministry of Social Affairs of Lebanon asked SOCIEUX+ support in the establishment of a unified registry for social protection (USRP), according to the National Social Protection Strategy. The goal is to have available a comprehensive data platform of beneficiary households of the existing social assistance benefits and schemes. In fact, today Lebanon’s economic crisis translates into persisting hardship for the poorest and impoverishment of the medium class; in such a situation, social transfers and basic services are key to secure essential livelihood and ultimately social stability. As those are massively funded by international donors, a national URSP would allow the Lebanese Government to steer social assistance delivery based on comprehensive data and IMS infrastructure. In this context, the planned EU support will be key to provide the necessary technical expertise to set up a functional and technological solution for setting up the URSP. The present Action – and the mobilized Spanish and French expertise - helped to prepare the terms of reference for the selection of the consultancy that will be in charge of ERSP’s development. The consultancy was actually selected, and the project started beginning 2024.

This action led by German, Estonian, Belgian, and Polish expertise, resulted in a proposal for a new operating and organizational model and a study visit to the Polish National Health Fund for insights on IT and organizational capacities.

      Description
      The social and child welfare and protection system implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare of Montenegro is oriented towards the development of social and child protection services to prevent the separation of children from their biological families, guarantee alternative forms of care and achieve reintegration, wherever possible by its international commitments. Ending institutionalisation has been a priority for Europe and is also one of the conditions for accession to the European Union. Experts from Hungary, Croatia, Sweden, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands mobilised by SOCIEUX+ supported the Institute for Child and Social Welfare in the development of a Foster Care Action Plan and the design of a curriculum for the Institute's social workers on foster care competencies.
