Governance and institutions for adaptive social protection
A review of the evidence and knowledge gaps
The study focuses on four key areas of social protection governance and institutions: legal and policy frameworks, horizontal coordination between sectors and organizations, decentralization and vertical coordination, and human resources. Key findings highlight the critical role of pre-established institutional arrangements in preparedness and response, the importance of effective inter-sectoral policy and organizational coordination, and the need for robust procedures and human resource strategies to manage and deliver social protection in crisis situations.
