Endorse the Joint Civil Society Statement urging countries to extend their social security systems
In the 2024/2025 budget, the Government of Mauritius announced the continuation of its Universal Child Benefit (UCB) the Contribution Sociale Généralisée (CSG) Child Allowance for another year, increasing the monthly payment for children 0-3 from MUR 2,000 to MUR 2,500. Today, 12 low-and middle-income countries have established Universal Child Benefit (UCBs) schemes. In these countries, UCBs have proven to be an important investment in children’s well-being and development. For example, in the Cook Islands, the UCB has significantly improved children’s access to education and increased household consumption by 3.5 per cent. Initially only for ages 0-6, it now covers children up to 16. USP2030 members and others wanting to endorse the joint statement can contact the USP2030 secretariat for further information.
