Grand Bargain Cash Workstream Sub-Group - Case Studies on Linking Humanitarian Cash and Social Protection

To share learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Grand Bargain Cash Workstream Sub-Group on Linking Humanitarian Cash (HC) and Social Protection (SP) has drawn up a series of case studies that offer practical examples of how actors in a range of different contexts have aligned or linked elements of existing and/or nascent humanitarian and social protection approaches in cash-based responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Using concepts that have been captured in a combination of different theoretical frameworks, the case studies bring to life examples that show how a variety of stakeholders have linked different elements of HC and SP in COVID-19 responses and the successes and challenges faced in doing so.

The case studies are organised around a combination of the humanitarian project cycle and the building blocks of the delivery chain. Learnings presented in this note have been drawn from the experience of sub group member agencies in several different countries.

The case studies cover the following interlinked topics: 

• Policy: Legal and policy frameworks; governance, coordination and capacity building; financing (This case study).

• Intervention design: Vulnerability and poverty assessments, informing eligibility/targeting design; transfer value and frequency; and conditionality.

• Implementation: Outreach and communications; information systems, registration and enrolment; payments/delivery; grievances and community feedback mechanism; transition and/or exit; monitoring and evidence.
