Description

The Social Inclusion and Social Protection Strategic Framework for the OECS Commission take into consideration major global and regional events over the past decade that have affected the economic and social context of the region. The Social Inclusion and Social Protection Strategy Framework gives guidance on supporting the most disadvantaged and those at risk for exclusion with the necessary resources and support services to enable active participation and meaningful contribution to society. The strategy takes a lifecycle approach (see Appendix 1) in addressing vulnerability. At all stages of the human lifecycle, there are various social and economic distresses and provisions required to militate against the most disastrous effects.
