Summary

This scoping study outlines the benefits, drawbacks, reach, and shock responsiveness of existing social protection schemes. It has explored and documented the variety of support mechanisms available for local governments to support the most vulnerable and disaster-exposed populations at the local level that can be mobilized and/or improved to implement the social protection (SP) system/social security allowance (SSA) (identification of beneficiaries, top-up on the assistance, adjustments of calendars of disbursement, of means of disbursement, diversification of the purpose of support, etc.).
