Gala Diaz Langou, Director of Social Protection in CIPPEC – Argentina presented the findings of recent research on social protection and early childhood in Argentina. During the side panel, “Universal social protection: end of poverty and reduce inequality”, CIPPEC highlighted the challenges that Argentina faces to implement a social protection policy that assures that no one is left behind.

The researchers have identified that, despite Argentina’s progress on eradicating poverty, this progress has not reached all.
