Synopsis (short abstract) SPIAC-B calls on international humanitarian and development actors to actively collaborate in aligning their support to national social protection systems of both countries of origin and countries hosting the forcibly displaced, ensuring the efficient delivery of humanitarian in-kind and cash assistance when government systems and their shockresponsive capacities are surpassed whilst also foreseeing opportunities for this assistance to strengthen government response capacity. This alignment ensures that no-one is left behind and is in line with the principles of the Grand Bargain and the Global Compact on Refugees.

    Delivering shock-responsive social protection to farmers and fishers in the Philippines
    Responding to floods and typhoon in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

    The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in the Philippines faces persistent socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In 2020, 81 percent of the population could not meet basic needs, and by 2021, the poverty rate stood at 29.8 percent – more than twice the national average. Decades of conflict, despite a 2014 peace agreement, continue to drive displacement and disrupt livelihoods. The region is also highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including floods, landslides and earthquakes, further exacerbating food insecurity and economic instability.Agriculture remains central to BARMM’s economy, employing 60.4 percent of the workforce. However, shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme weather events have severely affected the sector. While BARMM recorded a lower COVID-19 infection rate than the national average, the economic repercussions were significant. In 2022, Typhoon Nalgae (Paeng) caused extensive damage, affecting 557 000 people, displacing 102 000, and devastating homes, infrastructure and agricultural activities – especially in Maguindanao.This good practice factsheet documents two FAO interventions implemented between April 2021 and December 2022 to support farmers, fishers and their households. The first intervention expanded social protection coverage to those not receiving assistance to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19. The second enhanced flood response efforts by temporarily increasing assistance to affected farmers and fishers through BARMM’s social protection system. These initiatives demonstrate the potential of risk-informed, shock-responsive social protection in strengthening resilience and reducing poverty in crisis-prone regions.

    Honduras is experiencing a multifaceted crisis, mainly due to widespread violence, climate extremes and forced population movements. These shocks are disrupting vulnerable communities’ ability to produce food, particularly in drought-prone regions and in transit areas with limited resources, generating tensions between host families and displaced people. With 19 percent of the population analysed projected to be acutely food insecure, providing time-sensitive agricultural support to vulnerable households helps them to restore their livelihood and increase their self-reliance.

    One in two people in South Sudan will experience food insecurity during the country’s lean season (April–July). Climate shocks, conflict and insecurity, economic downturn and the spillover effects of the conflict in the Sudan are the key drivers of this crisis.Emergency agricultural assistance is vital to enable people to immediately access nutritious food while strengthening their livelihoods in the medium to long term. With a livelihood kit, a farming household can produce enough food to last nearly half a year, over and above their other sources of food.
