This work aims to develop operational guidance to teams on the likely determinants of effective social protection programming and policy making in fragile and conflict-affected settings. This paper elaborates on the role of social protection programming, and programming design and implementation features, that are prominent in fragile and conflict-affected states. In particular, the paper objectives in these countries, reflects on their revealed objectives, and discusses programming options chosen to achieve those objectives as well as how several countries have overcome particular operational and capacity constraints. This paper presents a methodology that has been devised to group countries based on income, capacity, and extent of enabling environment. Use of this methodology will aid in understanding trends, patterns, and key factors in policy making and programming choices, good and bad.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCHILD HEALTHRISKSSAFETY NET PROGRAMSCOMMUNITY PROJECTSECONOMIC GROWTHPROTECTION POLICIESPOVERTY LEVELSINCOMEEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESINSURANCE PROGRAMHIGH POPULATION DENSITYASSISTANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL SAFETY NETFOOD POLICYWELFAREIMMEDIATE RELIEFPROTECTION POLICYINCOME SUPPORTEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERGLOBAL POVERTYSOCIAL ASSISTANCEBENEFICIARIESCONFLICTMEASURESPENSIONECONOMIC SHOCKLIMITED CAPACITYNEW POORSAFETY NETSSOCIAL FUNDPOVERTY REDUCTIONCOPING STRATEGIESWORKS PROGRAMSCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEAVAILABILITY OF FOODBENEFICIARYRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSCHOOL MEALSPROGRAM COVERAGESOCIAL INSURANCEEMERGENCY SITUATIONSTRANSFERSNATURAL DISASTERSWORKS AGENCYVULNERABLE POPULATIONSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEELIGIBILITY CRITERIACHRONIC POVERTYSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL PROTECTIONPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSSOCIAL CONTRACTVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSSOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSCASH BENEFITSRURAL ROADSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTEPIDEMICSLABOR MARKET INTERVENTIONSCASH TRANSFERSFOOD AIDSUBSIDIESSOCIAL FINANCINGHEALTH SPENDINGTRANSFER PROGRAMEXTERNAL AIDSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SPENDINGINCOME SECURITYFOOD SECURITYLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL SERVICESINSURANCE SCHEMESSOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAMSPENSIONSCAPACITY-BUILDINGVULNERABLE GROUPSPOOR COUNTRIESSAFETY NETRURALMEANS TESTINGVOUCHERSNUTRITIONPUBLIC WORKSCASH ASSISTANCEINSURANCE PROTECTIONTRANSFER PROGRAMSTARGETING MECHANISMSSOCIAL WELFAREFINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL FEEDINGMARKET INTERVENTIONSINSURANCETARGETINGHUMAN RIGHTSFOOD DISTRIBUTIONMICRO-ENTERPRISESHORT-TERM EMPLOYMENTWAREXTREME POVERTYACCESS TO SERVICESPOVERTYFORMAL EMPLOYMENTFEEDING PROGRAMSFINANCIAL CAPACITYPOOR LIVINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSWORKS PROGRAMCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSEXTERNAL FINANCINGPOORFOOD VOUCHERSPOLITICAL UPHEAVALSHEALTH FINANCINGCHILD POVERTYDONOR FUNDINGNUTRITION PROGRAMSHOCKPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINEQUALITYSERVICE PROVIDERSWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/22792
