Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetStrengthen linkages between Humanitarian Assistance and National Social Protection Systems for Effective Responses to Forced Displacements 2022
Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Pilot Programmatic Partnership – Increasing capacities and scale for anticipatory action including through social protection systems
2022Also available in:
No results found.Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, while conflicts are driving consistent and unsustainable increases in humanitarian needs. Combined, they are pushing acute hunger to new heights reaching a five-year high in 2020. A strategic shift from responding to predictable shocks to anticipating their impacts has the potential to break the cycle of growing dependence on humanitarian aid. This approach - commonly known as anticipatory action - establishes risk-monitoring systems linked to flexible finance and standard operating procedures by delivering support to protect people’s lives and livelihoods ahead of forecast shocks. Anticipatory action can be delivered through a variety of modalities, including through national social protection systems. Social protection systems consist of policies and programmes designed to address economic, environmental, and social vulnerabilities to food insecurity and poverty. Linking anticipatory action to social protection means making better use of existing infrastructure to reach and proactively support vulnerable populations ahead of forecasted shocks. Recognizing the clear effectiveness of this approach, the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) established a three-year pilot partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to explore and strengthen the critical link between these two approaches. This concept note unpacks the activities for Year 1 of this partnership in Bangladesh. -

No results found.Cameroon, as most countries in the Sahel, is currently facing shocks that are affecting people’s food security and livelihoods. The upsurge in attacks by non‑state armed groups in the Far North region on the border with Nigeria, the sociopolitical crisis in the North-West and South-West regions and the influx of Central African refugees in the East and Adamawa regions are the main factors exacerbating people’s vulnerabilities. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) together with the Kingdom of Belgium contribute to the Government of Cameroon’s Emergency Plan to Combat Food Crisis in the country through agriculture and livestock support in the eastern region.
