What is P4SP?

Partnerships for Social Protection (P4SP) is an eight year, AUD 36 million Australian Government program that supports governments in Pacific island countries to strengthen their national social protection systems.

Through these systems, P4SP works to support community and economic wellbeing and helps build resilience to future shocks.

P4SP supports networking, learning and knowledge sharing across the region, grounded in experience and evidence from the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
