APSP exists to strengthen the contract between citizens and the state in the provision of social protection services. In order for governments to provide social protection programs as a right, APSP promotes the strengthening of social protection programs through law and policy. APSP platforms are involved in advocacy for policy and legislative frameworks at the national level to guide the provision of social protection services. Our platforms are involved in national stakeholder meetings on policy and legislation. Our platforms have been successful in promoting the enactment of social protection policies. There is a lot of work that is ongoing in the development of new laws, or review of social protection laws across the continent.
