Technical Training on Social Protection to Leave No One Behind (SP2LNOB) App

The primary objective of this technical training is to build capacity among technical specialists of target countries to use, update and modify the SP2LNOB app. At the end of this training, participants will be able to use the underlying algorithm in an open-source statistical software programme, R, and generate evidence as needed. Trainees will also be able to analyze new surveys to explore new thematic areas as they see fit. The participants will then be called upon as resource people during the national workshop in Cambodia and the Maldives to demonstrate the App and its role for improving social protection policies. Ultimately, this will strengthen inclusive policy making in the area of social protection.

The introductory workshop will be organized in person in the Meeting Room G of the United Nations Conference Centre, between 29 April and 1 May 2025. To fully benefit from the training and master the algorithm, participants should bring their laptops and follow the pre-workshop guidance note to be shared by ESCAP.
