description |
This case study suggests how
shock-responsive social protection systems can be the basis
of a government-led response to a health crisis and a
rapid-onset disaster. It also points to how linking
pre-arranged finance to safety nets can help with quick
delivery of cash to vulnerable populations post-disasters.
This experience complements existing evidence and experience
in other parts of Africa, where social protection systems
have been used for responding to drought, a slow-onset
natural disaster. It also informed the ongoing response to
the COVID-19 pandemic in Sierra Leone, which will provide
further lessons for shock-responsive social protection globally. |
