Global Extension of Social Security

GESS is a global knowledge sharing platform on the extension of social security and aims to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas, capture and document experiences, identify knowledge gaps, create new knowledge and promote innovation. To achieve this goal, GESS relies on the contributions of its users and the dialogue and exchange between them.

This platform, developed and run by the ILO Social Security Department and its STEP programme, provides an international interdisciplinary knowledge sharing environment and technical assistance services for the extension of social security.
