FAO, in partnership with the Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI), presents the sixth session of the tailored e-learning course on Designing and Implementing Adaptive Social Protection Systems. This session focuses on coordinating shock-responsive social protection systems to support the humanitarian-development nexus. Prof. Rachel Sabates-Wheeler, Development Economist at the Institute of Development Studies, provides an overview of shock-responsive social protection, outlines the reasons for integrating social protection and humanitarian response, and highlights some challenges in linking these two sectors and in pursuing multi-stakeholder coordination. Then, Ms. Hangh Thi Thanh Pham, Regional Senior Resilience Officer at FAO, shared some of the work that FAO has been conducting with ASEAN partners in the effort to address the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) nexus.
