Bangladesh has a comprehensive portfolio of both food, cash and income generating technology based SSNPs. This study assessed the current status of SSNPs and its effectiveness in Bagerhat cyclone and coastal flood prone and Gaibandha river flood prone districts.
Specially, the study depicted SSNPs within the view of natural hazards climatic change impacts shocks, floods, cyclones and storm surges, flash floods, drought, tornadoes and landslides.
This study showed that the organizational performance in the delivery of SSNPs as well as its technical guidance provided to task teams and program managers for identifying indicators of governance and service quality in the targeted SSNPs programs.
This study identified that the governance issues along the results chain of service delivery and suggested policy and performance indicators for assessing the program had a significant impact of the outcome of the SSNPs.

People exposed to the Climate change presents a one of classic earth and most severe natural hazards are often those least able natural system challenges.
The dynamics of the to cope with the associated impacts, due to their climate are extremely complex and imperfectly limited adaptive capacity. This in turn poses multiple understood.

To respond to the extreme drought in the Southern Africa region , cash transfers have become the primary response to support the recovery of disaster-affected population in Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique.
In Madagascar , with support from the World Bank's Fund for the Poorest IDA , cash transfers were provided to more than 80, poor households, while promoting nutrition, early childhood development, children school attendance and productive activities of families.
Day 1 — Monday, Oct 28 1. Social safety nets: a primer and course overview Ugo Gentilini [Presentation] 2. The poor and other vulnerable groups are suffering the most negative consequences from the COVID pandemic.
In response, many governments are rapidly expanding social protection programs. Dan Gilligan describes why safety nets are essential tools in this global emergency, and provides specific recommendations on how these programs can be adapted and implemented to increase their immediate effectiveness—and provide a bridge to faster recovery of households, communities, and national economies. The twin health and economic shocks of the COVID pandemic are staggering in their breadth and scale.
While the disease arrived later and has spread more slowly in many low- and middle-income countries, COVID is threatening the lives and long-term livelihoods of millions of poor people, and could push an additional million into extreme poverty. In many places, the poor are more likely to have underlying or untreated health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, vitamin D deficiency which raises the risk of serious illness if they are exposed.
Poor households are also more likely to cope with income loss by selling productive assets or undertaking work that is either inherently riskier e. Their children may also be less likely to return to schools upon reopening, permanently reducing their earning potential. These factors leave the poor even more vulnerable to additional impending shocks, like desert locusts in the horn of Africa or cyclones in South Asia. Targeted social safety nets for the poor are central to the effort to stifle these negative impacts and protect the substantial gains made globally in the fight against poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition in this century.
Why are social safety nets important to the pandemic response, what challenges do they face, and what lessons can we glean from past research into social protection programs to craft effective responses over the long term? Social safety nets have played a major role in the response to the COVID pandemic in the last three months.
According to an effort by Ugo Gentilini of the World Bank to track social protection responses during the crisis, countries have implemented, adapted or planned over social protection measures during the crisis, often in the form of cash transfers. Several countries have offered a temporary sharp increase in the benefit amount for current beneficiaries. First, two decades of extensive, rigorous research on social protection programs has documented their effectiveness at protecting food security, assets and human capital, including in a crisis.
Safety nets can also improve health, including for newborns , and through improved nutrition when combined with complementary nutrition programs, a high policy priority during the pandemic. Second, large scale transfers help to replace lost income for credit-constrained poor households and counter the economic drag of the pandemic by providing a fiscal stimulus that, under certain conditions, may generate positive multiplier effects during the recovery.
A temporary increase in cash transfers during the pandemic can also make moral and political sense, protecting those most in need and building trust in government. Third, the infrastructure of a social safety net was already in place, to varying degrees, in most countries. Over the last two decades, social protection, and particularly social assistance, has grown in popularity as a leading response to poverty. However, the evidence again contradicts this assumption: Richer countries actually spend more on social protection programs than poorer ones.
And likely necessary due the rising inequality that often accompanies economic growth. Indonesia has experienced substantial economic growth in recent years, but a new World Bank report shows that inequality has also reached historically high levels, implying that not everyone has benefited. There are many different kinds of programs that policymakers can choose from: Cash transfers, asset transfers, food subsidies, food voucher programs, insurance programs, and so on.
While a combination is likely necessary, we need more good empirical evidence about which programs best reduce poverty and improve social outcomes in Indonesia. The devil is in the details. For example, the method the government uses to identify eligible low-income recipients can affect whether the program successfully reaches impoverished households, as well as how these households spend the transfers.
