ESN | Edenred Webinar: Implementing social vouchers for the provision of targeted social services

Friday 30 October | 10:00 – 11:30 CET

Rergister here

Covid-19 is having a significant social and economic impact. As societies move towards recovery, more than ever, the challenge is how to revive the economy in a socially inclusive way that does not leave anyone behind. Supporting citizens with their essential spending is key and can enable a strong sustainable recovery in sectors most hit by the crisis.

Public authorities can use social vouchers to provide targeted support as a complement to in-kind or cash benefits while supporting the local economy. There have been significant developments in social vouchers’ digitisation through apps and QR coding that make them easy to deploy.

With this webinar, ESN and Edenred would like to provide an opportunity for public authorities and developers of these solutions to discuss ways of designing, setting up and implementing social vouchers to facilitate their deployment and ensure their efficiency.
