Strengthening Shock-Responsive Social Protection Systems

This guidance outlines UNICEF’s approach to shock-responsive social protection, providing practical tools and resources. It focuses on social transfers, especially cash transfers, as proven programmatic responses and an integral part of social protection systems in both development settings and humanitarian response, and is an area in which UNICEF has significant expertise. Other important areas of social protection programming, such as social insurance, public works and school feeding, are areas for further exploration for coordination with key partners in these areas.
