Le Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) op¨¨re dans un environnement o¨´ la concurrence pour les ressources s'intensifie. Dans ce contexte, le ciblage des populations vuln¨¦rables est essentiel au succ¨¨s de toute forme de r¨¦ponse. Du point de vue de l'efficacit¨¦ et de la responsabilisation, le PAM doit utiliser les moyens disponibles et innovants pour optimiser les m¨¦thodes utilis¨¦es afin de garantir que ceux qui en ont le plus besoin re?oivent une assistance.
Ce guide m¨¦thodologique sur le ciblage s¡¯inscrit dans le cadre des activit¨¦s de pr¨¦paration et de r¨¦ponses aux urgences du PAM Mali. En effet, il part d¡¯une volont¨¦ :
? De rappeler les notions et d¨¦finitions de base associ¨¦es au ciblage et des questions transversales telles que la protection et le genre ;
? D¡¯harmoniser les m¨¦thodes de ciblage entre les partenaires coop¨¦rants du PAM tout en reconnaissant le besoin de s¡¯adapter au contexte ;
? D¡¯am¨¦liorer les approches de ciblage dans des contextes humanitaires difficiles en fournissant les outils adapt¨¦s.
Improving the ¡®shock-responsiveness¡¯ of social protection¡ªin other words, its relevance to large-scale natural, economic and political shocks¡ªis an appealing prospect both for governments and for their partners working in social protection and humanitarian assistance. The approach has entered the mainstream in recent years and there are now hundreds of experiences worldwide of adaptations being made to social protection programmes in order to build people's resilience, or to mitigate and respond better to the risk of disasters. Familiarity with the techniques are growing, but some aspects are proving particularly complex. This short publication draws on insights from some recent real-life examples to offer 10 key tips.
The external briefing note outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ's social protection work and offer to support governments in the design and delivery of large-scale responses to the social and economic impacts of COVID-19.
Nearly 15 million children between 5-14 years old are out of school in MENA, and 10 million are in school but at risk of dropping out due to poverty and social marginalization, as well as migration, displacement and conflict. This brief provides key messages and actions for governments, Â鶹ÊÓƵ offices and partners to strengthen linkages between school feeding programmes and social protection to maximize the benefits of National School Feeding Programmes (NSFPs) as safety nets in the region.
There is global recognition of the promising linkages between social protection and disaster risk management (DRM) in responding to and mitigating shocks, and in contributing to strengthening the humanitarian¨Cdevelopment nexus. It is in this context that the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) and Oxford Policy Management (OPM) began a research project in 2016 on shock-responsive social protection in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). In 2019 and 2020, the study focuses on the Caribbean where several governments have used social protection programmes and systems to reach people impacted by disasters. This report studies the case of Jamaica and identifies the factors that would allow the social protection system to be more responsive. The box below briefly summarises the theoretical framework for this case study.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has made the assessment that COVID-19 (coronavirus) can be characterised as a pandemic and the virus has now spread to many countries and territories. While COVID-19 continues to spread, it is important that communities take action to prevent further transmission, reduce the impacts of the outbreak and support control measures.
This decentralized evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Palestine Country Office and covers the Unconditional Resource Transfer (URT) through Cash-Based Transfers (CBT) to non-refugees, poor and severely food insecure people under the National Social Safety Net programme (NSSNP) in Palestine between January 2019 and December 2020.
The RBC ¡®Regional Advocacy Brief: Nutrition-Sensitive Social Protection¡¯ is a call for action advocating for nutrition-sensitive social protection, supporting the most vulnerable population in our region.
Given the uncertainty around the impacts of climate change, social protection represents a key form of ¡®low regrets¡¯ investment, where it balances the dual role of supporting poverty alleviation, while also addressing vulnerability to climate change. Â鶹ÊÓƵ can then engage in the provision of technical assistance and policy support, as well as facilitate dialogue among different institutions and partners to support more climate adaptive social protection programmes
This think piece was produced by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ in collaboration with Oxford Policy Management and sets out a vision of how social protection can support households facing climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Mozambique is highly exposed to weather-related hazards and faces periodic cyclones, droughts and floods. With predicted 800,000 people in severe food insecurity in the 2018-19 lean season, DFID funded Â鶹ÊÓƵ and HelpAge to provide cash transfers or commodity vouchers to around 120,000 beneficiaries in Tete province. Two notable features were introduced in the intervention. The first was linking the lean season assistance with social protection, by involving national social security institutions and prioritizing recipients of routine social assistance programmes. The second feature was providing transfers through a ¡®separation of functions¡¯ approach, with programme implementation and accountability roles divided between Â鶹ÊÓƵ and HelpAge. The interventions also created an opportunity to develop lessons on the use of unconditional cash transfers - unlike other countries in the region, cash transfers have not been used in disaster response owing to government concerns about dependency, expectations, responsible spending and market access. After cyclones Idai and Kenneth hit Mozambique in March-April 2019, the breadth of the exercise was expanded to consider emerging issues on the planned use of social assistance for recovery.
This report is the result of a study commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ in Mozambique and undertaken by an independent consultant, with financial support from the UK Department of International Development.
Despite significant economic progress over the last two decades, Lao PDR still has one of the highest poverty rates in the ASEAN region, with around a fifth of its 6 million people in poverty.
The country is also vulnerable to natural disasters, which can threaten families¡¯ access to food, nutrition and their opportunities to earn an income. This report is a case study of Lao PDR¡¯s national social protection system, which sought to identify the factors that would enable that system to be responsive to shocks and to support vulnerable families.
Protection and AAP are clear priorities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ worldwide. Rolling out such systems in Lebanon has recently included the recruitment of two new staff.
