| description |
Traditionally social protection (SP)
and humanitarian programs were quite distinct in their
objectives, scope, and operations, but over time those
distinctions have diminished and with that the gains from
better integration. Humanitarian programs are committed to
more involvement of national actors, more use of cash, and
greater popular participation all matters that are important
for SP actors. On the other side, SP has gradually shifted
into shock-responsive or adaptive SP that explicitly targets
not only the poor but also those affected by shocks. Beyond
presenting the divide and overlap of concepts, principles,
and commitments from the SP and humanitarian realms, this
paper attempts at unbundling a framework for humanitarian
and SP integration across the delivery chain (based on the
paper by Seyfert et al. 2019). Global experiences across the
integration spectrum, as well as the practical application
of the framework in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan,
are exemplified. The analysis shows how programs apply a
‘mix and match’ approach building on factors such as
political will, technical capacity, and alignment of
objectives across implementing agencies, donors, and the
government. The paper identifies constraints and
opportunities for better integration and proposes a set of
actions to enhance benefits for affected populations. |
