Abstract
This publication presents the strategy for the third phase (2026-30) of the Flagship Programme. The new strategy maintains a strong focus on building core social protection systems, with the aim of creating and strengthening inclusive and comprehensive systems that cover all branches of social security. It also leverages these systems as drivers of equitable national structural transformations — supporting the formalization of enterprises and employment, transitions to greener and more climate-resilient economies, digital transformation, crisis recovery and reconstruction, and adaptation to major demographic shifts such as population ageing.
