Tackling Natural Hazards through Adaptive Social Protection in the Pacific

The grant objective is to strengthen the capacity of the Governments of Pacific Island Countries to provide social protection to affected households in response to natural hazards and build resilience. The task aims to improve the disaster responsiveness of existing social protection programs and provide technical assistance in the development of new programs and delivery mechanisms. This will be achieved primarily through: (i) analytical work on creating linkages between social protection and
disaster risk management; (ii) raising awareness of adaptive social protection,
climate change and disaster risk management through the
dissemination of reports, videos and other activities; (iii) providing technical support for program design and implementation for adaptive social protection interventions.
