Social protection programmes, designed to respond to the vulnerability of poor people in times of crying need or chronic hardship, can play a strategic role in mobilizing social change. To facilitate this, the Government of Bangladesh has developed a National Social Security Strategy (NSSS) to build a more efficient and effective use of resources, strengthened delivery systems and progress towards a more inclusive form of Social Security that effectively tackles lifecycle risks, prioritizing the poorest and most vulnerable members of society.
