STEP is an operational tool to promote the extension of social protection for men and women workers in the informal economy.

Making efforts to make women more visible in their social and economic roles. This contributes to the overall preparations for the follow up to the 4th World Conference on Women in Bejing (1995) through the "Bejing plus 5" in 2000.
