#15 Lessons From Government Responses to Protect Informal Workers
And in this episode, we bring you the third and last part of the especial mini-series on social protection for informal workers in the context of the Covid-19 global pandemic. We will look more closely on how governments around the world are responding to the global crisis in order to address to the urgent social protection needs of vulnerable people, in particular, informal workers. To help us understand the main challenges and concrete issues policy makers are facing as the first government responses are being implemented, we invited Valentina Barca. Valentina is an independent consultant, and she is a specialist in social protection delivery systems. She is part of a multi-disciplinary research team, called SPACE, that is working to provide policy analysis to the responses on social protection during this global pandemic, in order to support countries to think about how to better address to the current crisis. Valentina analyses issues related to the targeting of informal workers, patterns in government responses, implementation problems that emerge; why some countries are responding quicker and more effectively than others, and which are the challenges and lessons to reach informal workers, that we can take from the policies that are being implemented. *Our theme music is Focus from AA Aalto (Creative Commons) REFERENCES WIEGO response tracking https://www.wiego.org/government-responses-covid-19-crisis Rapid Assessment World Bank Tracking: Global social protection Covid-response paper https://www.ugogentilini.net/?p=920 OECD Blog: The COVID-19 crisis: income support to informal workers is necessary and possible, by Laura Alfers https://oecd-development-matters.org/2020/04/22/the-covid-19-crisis-income-support-to-informal-workers-is-necessary-and-possible/ OECD Policy Responses to Coronavirus www.oecd.org/coronavirus/policy-responses/supporting-livelihoods-during-the-covid-19-crisis-closing-the-gaps-in-safety-nets-17cbb92d/

In this month, we go back to the ground to understand how the livelihoods of informal workers are being affected in two of the countries in Latin America most hit in the region by the Covid-19 crisis: Mexico and Peru. We invited two guests who are working closely with informal workers. From Mexico, Tania Espinoza, Mexico City Focal City Coordinator at WIEGO. And from Peru, we bring Carmen Roca, Lima Focal City Coordinator, also from WIEGO. They will analyse the main challenges on the implementation of the emergency cash-grant policies to protect informal workers income, the problems of government responses and some of the possible solutions to address these issues. *Our theme music is Focus from AA Aalto (Creative Commons) References Blog: How are Peru’s street vendors facing COVID-19? https://www.wiego.org/blog/how-are-perus-street-vendors-facing-covid-19 Webinar presentation: Social Protection for the working poor COVID context Peru https://socialprotection.org/sites/default/files/publications_files/Webinar%20Presentation%2021%2004%202020.pdf Los Rifados de la Basura Campaign https://www.wiego.org/los-rifados-de-la-basura-campaign Vídeo: Mexico City's Sanitation Workers: meet María del Carmen Loza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ksNq8GSLM&feature=youtu.be
