The platform provides free access to a variety of features, including searchable databases of social protection publications – which includes text, audio, slides, infographic, video, photos, databases and online tools – as well as blogs, news, events, and programme profiles. Members of socialprotection.org are able to connect in the social space and join online communities dedicated to prominent social protection topics. Users can also engage with innovative learning tools, such as online courses, webinars, and livestream events. Since its launch, socialprotection.org has hosted over 170 webinars in a variety of topics.
