The importance of social protection measures in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010, para. 70
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Legal and institutional frameworks also clarify the various roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders (Governments, development agencies and civil society organizations, as well as beneficiaries). This is an essential requirement for accountability. It also guarantees the involvement of State authorities throughout the development of social protection programmes. Clear and effective legal and institutional frameworks also significantly reduce the risk that political changes will jeopardize existing social protection programmes, which in turn protects beneficiaries from potential violations of their right to social security.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
