Although natural disasters have always presented risks, climate change increases those risks and compounds them by adding a greater level of uncertainty. As a result of their increased frequency, the economic and social costs of disasters are mounting (World Bank 2010). Natural disasters and climate change can push people into chronic and transient poverty and force them to adopt negative coping strategies. Social protection programs play an important role in protecting poor and vulnerable people from these impacts and helping them reduce their exposure and vulnerability to them. This toolkit provides guidance on how to prepare social protection programs to respond to disasters and climate change. The snapshots of good practice experiences and practical tips for implementation are intended to guide decision makers in countries facing these risks in adapting their social protection programs to reduce negative impacts and accelerate recovery. The focus of this toolkit is aligned with the role and expertise of the World Bank, which has traditionally supported early and long-term recovery and helped rebuild livelihoods and infrastructure. This toolkit provides examples of good practice experiences and practical guidance for the practitioner in that direction.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL INCOMESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYASSET HOLDINGSBANKSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFIT LEVELSCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH ASSISTANCECASH BENEFITSCASH DISBURSEMENTCASH PAYMENTSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCATASTROPHIC EVENTCHRONIC FOOD INSECURITYCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCLIMATE CHANGECOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMUNITY ASSETSCOMMUNITY COMMITTEESCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONDITIONAL CASHCONFLICTCONSUMPTION SMOOTHINGCONTINGENCY PLANCONTINGENCY PLANNINGCONTINGENCY PLANSCOPING STRATEGIESCROP INSURANCEDAMAGESDISASTER ACTIVITIESDISASTER INSURANCEDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER MITIGATION MEASURESDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLANDISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLANSDISASTER RECOVERYDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RELIEFDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RESPONSESDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITSDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDROUGHTDROUGHTSEARLY WARNINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKE RECONSTRUCTIONEARTHQUAKESECONOMIC SHOCKSELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY ASSISTANCEEMERGENCY OPERATIONEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSFARM ACTIVITIESFARMERSFEE WAIVERSFINANCIAL SUPPORTFIREFLOODFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD AIDFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD PRICEFOOD SECURITYFOOD TRANSFERSGENDER DIMENSIONSHEALTH CLINICSHOME RATIONSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCEHUMANITARIAN RESPONSEHURRICANESIDIOSYNCRATIC SHOCKSIMPACT OF DISASTERSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME POVERTYINCOME SECURITYINCOME SUPPORTINEQUALITYINFORMAL SAFETY NETSINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINSURANCE PROGRAMINSURANCE SCHEMESINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICYIRRIGATIONLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIESLIVELIHOOD SUPPORTLOCAL NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSMALNUTRITIONMEANS TESTMEANS TESTINGMICROCREDIT PROGRAMSNATIONAL EMERGENCYNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDSNEEDS ASSESSMENTPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR FARMERSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR SMALLHOLDERSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ERADICATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREDICTABILITYPREVENTIVE ACTIONSPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPROTECTION SYSTEMPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSREDUCING POVERTYRELIEF EFFORTSRISK ANALYSISRISK COPINGRISK EXPOSURERISK MANAGEMENTRISK MITIGATIONRISK REDUCTIONROAD CONSTRUCTIONRURALRURAL AREASRURAL ENTERPRISESSAFETYSAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL FEEDINGSELECTION CRITERIASERVICE PROVIDERSSHOCKSINGLE PARENTSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ACTION FUNDSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL FUNDSSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL WELFARESOCIAL WORKERSSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDINGSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING PROGRAMTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSFER BENEFITSTRANSFER MECHANISMTRANSFER PAYMENTTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER SYSTEMSTRANSIENT POVERTYTRANSITORY POVERTYTRANSITORY SHOCKSTSUNAMIUNEMPLOYMENTUNSKILLED LABORVICTIMSVOLCANIC ERUPTIONSVULNERABILITY REDUCTIONVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWATER SUPPLYWEATHER SHOCKSWORKS PROGRAMWORKS PROGRAMSWORKS PROJECTSWorld Bank10.1596/16492
