Humanitarian Aid & Social Protection
Humanitarian interventions would best meet their intended purpose if they were well integrated and meant to complement universal social protection schemes, especially during cases of emergency. They are equally important to cover the populations who remain excluded from these schemes despite all efforts and the most vulnerable in turbulent times. There has been increasing attention among the international community to link humanitarian assistance to social protection, making sure that the humanitarian model does not harm progress towards state-led universal social protection and that development funds are not wasted on reactive, non-sustainable interventions.
