The Potential of Nepal’s Social Security Allowance Schemes to support Emergency Flood Response

Summary

This study assesses the potential of using the SSA system to respond to floods in the immediate future (taking a two-year timeframe). The study complements other ongoing work on the role of social protection in responding to emergencies in the country and forms part of a larger UNICEF project funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) aimed at generating new policy-relevant evidence to strengthen the preparedness of Nepal’s SSA schemes for disaster response.
