Abstract
This note highlights the critical
contribution that social protection can make to a broader
disaster recovery effort by helping directly to
disaster-affected households. It is intended primarily for
those government officials involved in organizing the
post-disaster response and recovery effort who may not be
familiar with social protection or the contribution it can
make as part of their response and recovery plans. It also
provides a high-level sensitization to the main social
protection programs and their potential uses in response and
recovery, including their primary strengths and limitations
in post disaster settings. It is hoped that this indicative
information can provide the basis and impetus for government
officials leading the response and recovery effort to
collaborate with their own national social protection
ministries, departments and agencies in order to assess the
most appropriate contribution that social protection can
make in their specific country contexts, and at a much more
detailed degree of technical specificity.
