Finances Publiques pour les analystes de la Protection Sociale
5 octobre–20 novembre 2026
Présentation du cours
De nombreux pays reconnaissent de plus en plus la contribution des systèmes de protection sociale au développement économique et social durable. Pourtant, un défi majeur reste de savoir comment financer ces systèmes dans le contexte d'un éventail diversifié d'autres priorités pour les dépenses gouvernementales au niveau national. En réunissant les mondes des finances publiques et de la protection sociale, ce cours vise à doter les praticiens de la protection sociale et des finances publiques des compétences pratiques nécessaires pour évaluer les options de financement de la protection sociale et élaborer des plans de financement nationaux sur mesure.
Groupes cibles
Le cours est conçu à la fois pour les praticiens de la protection sociale souhaitant approfondir leur compréhension des finances publiques et pour les professionnels des finances publiques désireux de comprendre les considérations spécifiques nécessaires au financement de la protection sociale. Les participants typiques sont des professionnels issus des ministères, des institutions de sécurité sociale, des partenaires sociaux, des agences des Nations Unies, des organisations non gouvernementales, des instituts de recherche et des cabinets de conseil. Les participants doivent être titulaires d'un diplôme de licence ou d'un diplôme supérieur et posséder de solides compétences quantitatives.
