Governments need to focus on local practical delivery, and people focused mechanisms, including dignity to deliver more effective social assistance in crisis contexts, experts explain in a new episode of the Between the Lines podcast.
In this episode, researchers and policymakers examine why and how and when to use social protection approaches in different crisis contexts so that more effective social assistance can be delivered. This includes examples of Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan.
This episode features a combination of researchers, policy makers and practitioners from the IDS-hosted programme Better Assistance in Crisis Research (BASIC) who share findings and recommendations. They comprise:
- Rachel Slater, consultant from Better Assistance in Crisis Research (BASIC) project;
- Nadine Khayat, senior lecturer, School of Architecture and Design, Beirut Urban Lab;
- Julie Lawson McDowall, senior social protection advisor at Save the Children;
- Charlotte Bilo, child poverty and social protection consultant, UNICEF.
The discussion looks into detail about a particular theme of basic research – and that it is how in these really difficult crisis settings (with examples of Syrian refugees in Lebanon) we can make social protection more inclusive. The second thing they focused on is how we talk about policy implications of basic research.
