For
any questions related to this post, please contact:- Ms Hermawaty Misnan, Admin/ HR Assistant, hermawaty@ilo.org BackgroundThere
is globally and in the Asia Pacific region a growing consensus that the
establishment of social protection floors is a key element of the policy
framework to reduce poverty and inequalities and achieve inclusive and
sustainable development. It is at the core of the Sustainable Development Goals
by 2030. During the past decade, ASEAN countries have made progress in
extending social protection, with the emergence of statutory schemes in all
ASEAN countries. In October 2013, ASEAN Heads of State adopted a Declaration on
Strengthening Social Protection, pledging for the completion of social
protection floors as a priority to achieve growth with equity. However, coverage
and level of protection across the population and across countries remain
unequal and insufficient. There is still a need for improving policy and
institutional framework for the effective and efficient delivery of social
protection. The
three year ILO/Japan Project on Extending Social Security Coverage in ASEAN
(2016-2018) intends to generate better knowledge, understanding and expertise
on extension of social protection, and stimulate South-South cooperation across
ASEAN Member States. The regional Project also provides direct support to
Indonesia and Viet Nam, and in a certain extend to Myanmar, for increasing
social security coverage, in particular among informal economy workers,
self-employed and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) workers. Lessons
learnt, experiences and good practices from the three countries will be
disseminated across the ASEAN Member States and worldwide. In
Indonesia, the project guides the government and social partners in the
identification of concrete and evidenced-based policy recommendations for
increasing coverage by improving compliance of social security laws and
enhancing the institutional framework. The Project may identify with the
government and social partners one or two sectors for direct interventions in view
of replicating good practices in other sectors. 

More specifically interventions in Indonesia include:

1. An analysis of impediments and evidence-based recommendations for extending social security coverage (review of legal/design and implementation aspects);
2. Recommendations for improving policies and systems, as well as training, for an enhanced social security inspection, learning from different countries’ experiences;
3. Support to social security administration for streamlining procedures and services for registration, payment of contributions, benefits claims and appeals; and
4. Awareness and understanding raised on benefits of social security, as well as rights and
   obligations of employers and workers.
