In focus

It is the time of year that reminds us of the "social" in social protection, and when we can look forward to - we sincerely hope - a new year of increasing equity and inclusion.
The GESS team and all of our colleagues in the ILO Social Security Department can look back on a year that has been busier than ever, with grateful thanks to everyone who has contributed and so played their part in making GESS a success - Season's greetings to you all!
