Social Protection

Social protection is an economic investment that is essential to Leave No One Behind (LNOB) and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It plays a key role in mitigating economic and social crises and shocks, and combating poverty, inequality and exclusion.

Leave No One Behind

Leave no one behind (LNOB) is the central pledge of the 2030 Agenda, recognising the need to combat poverty and inequalities. In fact, leaving no one behind is indispensable in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. On this page, you can find out about the ‹why›, the ‹what› and the ‹how› of implementation of the LNOB pledge at SDC, about the work of other organisations on LNOB and thematic links related to LNOB.
