Should Global Public Investment Finance Social Protection?

This discussion paper proposes applying a new approach to international cooperation called ‘Global Public Investment’ to help design the proposed global fund for universal social protection. The proposed approach is applicable to this and other global social goods and global public goods.

As such, GPI offers a strong and appropriate alterative to the current mode of thinking about development cooperation.
