SOCIEUX (Social Protection EU Expertise in Development Cooperation)

In November 2015 SOCIEUX, the European Commission’s technical assistance facility for social protection in development cooperation, managed by GVG and its partners, supported the implementation of an International Pensions Seminar in Mexico gathering representatives from pension institutions of 20 Mexican states and European experts to discuss the needs and strategies for the establishment of a comprehensive, nation-wide and coordinated pension system for the country.

SOCIEUX is a technical assistance facility established by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Development and Cooperation – EuropeAid – to support the efforts of partner countries to better design and manage social protection systems by means of short-term peer-to-peer inputs to be delivered by experts drawn primarily from the European Union Member States’ public administrations and mandated bodies.

A demand-driven programme, SOCIEUX has been receiving and implementing requests for assistance from countries of Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific region, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and the European Neighbourhood area since beginning of 2014.
