What role can social protection systems play in responding to humanitarian emergencies?

This video showcases insights from a global study, 'shock-responsive social protection systems'. The study aims to strengthen the evidence base as to when and how social protection systems can better respond to shocks (such as droughts, floods, or economic crises) in low-income countries and fragile and conflict-affected states, so that the negative impacts of shocks are reduced and there is less need for separate humanitarian responses.

The research is funded by UK Aid from the UK Government, and was undertaken by Oxford Policy Management in consortium with the Overseas Development Institute, the Cash Learning Partnership, and INASP.

This is so simple, yet incredibly informative!

Thank you for the informative video.

While this video is very informative and touches on the relevant aspects of social protection, it may be a little misleading in some areas. For instance cash transfers and in-kind assistance are not programmes, but inputs within the social assistance framework of social protection systems.
