Health Micro-Insurance Schemes: Feasibility Study Guide Volume 1: Procedure The Strategies and Tools against social Exclusion and Poverty global programme (STEP) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is active in two interdependent thematic areas: the extension of social protection to the excluded and integrated approaches to social inclusion. STEP supports the design and dissemination of innovative systems intended to extend social protection to excluded populations, particularly in the informal economy. It focuses in particular on systems based on the participation and organization of the excluded. STEP also contributes to strengthening links between these systems and other social protection mechanisms. In this way, STEP supports the establishment of coherent national social protection systems, based on the values of efficiency, equity and solidarity. STEPs action in the field of social protection is placed in the broader framework of combat- ing poverty and social exclusion. It gives special emphasis to improving understanding of the phenomena of social exclusion and to consolidating integrated approaches at the methodo- logical level which endeavour to reduce this problem. STEP pays special attention to the rela- tionship between the local and national levels, while at the same contributing to international activities and agenda. STEP combines different types of activities: studies and research; the development of meth- odological tools and reference documents, training, the execution of field projects, technical assistance for the definition and implementation of policies and the development of networking between the various actors. The programmes activities are carried out within the Social Security Department of the ILO, and particularly its Global Campaign on Social Security and Coverage for All.
