Shock-Responsive Social Protection Systems Research: Synthesis Report

This report and briefing consolidates the evidence and lessons learned from the research, drawing on the case studies

Abstract

This synthesis report consolidates the evidence and lessons learned from the research, drawing on all the case studies and other outputs, including the literature review as well as policy briefs on systems development and monitoring and evaluation. It highlights the key ways in which social protection systems may contribute to mitigate the effect of, or respond to, large-scale shocks, and the opportunities and challenges therein; presents the features of programme design and implementation that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the response; and summarises lessons on achieving a successful collaboration between the humanitarian, Disaster response management (DRM) and social protection systems.

The policy brief summarises the findings from the Synthesis Report.

These are outputs from the Shock Responsive Social Protection Systems Research Programme
