Social protection systems play a vital role in reducing poverty, inequality, and vulnerability, particularly in developing countries. These systems comprise a range of programs aimed at supporting individuals and households to manage risks and achieve better living standards. This paper analyzes social protection systems globally, exploring various welfare and poverty alleviation programs implemented by governments and organizations. The study evaluates the effectiveness of these programs in addressing poverty and promoting socio-economic development. It also discusses the challenges faced in the design and implementation of these programs, including issues of accessibility, sustainability, and political will. Through this analysis, the paper provides insights into best practices and recommendations for improving social protection systems to better serve marginalized populations. The conclusion underscores the importance of strengthening social protection as a key instrument in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality).
