While the overall management of the programme is by the IDS and IHD, a partnership has been established with regional institutions, as part of achieving the overall objectives of creating a regional network and voice on social protection. These regional institutions function as sub-regional coordinators for South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia (China). These institutions that are responsible for networking, coordination, dissemination and policy advocacy within their regions are:
Institute for Human Development (IHD), Delhi, India – for South Asia

SMERU Research Institute, Jakarta, Indonesia - for South East Asia

HomeNet Thailand Policy Briefs on Social Security, Health Insurance and Legal Protections
The briefs discuss the country experiences of Thailand in extending social security cover to informal workers, increasing effectiveness of universal health coverage schemes, especially for informal workers’ health problems and also ongoing advocacy for a Homeworker Protection Act in Thailand.
