Algeria reached out to Brazil in search for innovative solutions to ensure sustainable and child-sensitive social protection reforms. Specifically, the cooperation with Brazil seeks to optimize the effectiveness, efficiency and equity-focus on expanded social protection programmes, so that children and families residing in the most hard-to-reach and susceptible regions have access to improved basic services. With the support of UNICEF, Algeria identified South-South Cooperation with Brazil as an innovative and effective strategy to gain technical knowledge regarding the successful implementation of social policies.
