#DevelopingCountries are facing the worst #DebtCrisis in history with almost half their budgets being spent on paying back their #creditors, a study has
found.
More than 100 countries are struggling to service their debts, resulting in them cutting back on investment in #health, #education, #SocialProtection and #ClimateChange measures.

"The suffering falls disproportionately upon #people living in #poverty, #marginalised ethnic communities, #migrants and #women and #girls, who live and work outside or in homes vulnerable to extreme weather, according to the research. These groups are less likely to have #savings, #insurance or #SocialProtection, which leaves them more economically, as well as physically, at risk from #floods, #drought, #heatwaves and #ForestFires."

This is a good piece from Isabela Nunes Franciscon exploring the various cash transfers and subsidies which #Ghana offered to vulnerable populations during the #pandemic - many of which were well-intentioned but didn't reach poor households #socialprotection #africanpolitics https://socialprotection.org/discover/blog/overview-social-protection-measures-towards-covid-19-crisis-ghana-key-considerations

Big piece from #HumanRightsWatch calling out for increased #SocialProtection as #FoodPoverty and #EconomicCrisis take hold in #Lebanon, even going to far as to critique implementation of conditional social initiatives- #BasicIncome could be a big help here

The Serbia Card: All around the world digital-ID is sold/ justified as a means to social inclusion, and as a way to increase efficiency and convenience in distributing social welfare payments, but again and again in practice it excludes the most marginalized and serves as a mechanism for surveillance and data extraction. #digitalRights #socialProtection #Serbia #digitalIdentity #technoPolitics #digitalID #surveillance #criticalDataStudies #digitalGovernance
