Shock-Responsive Social Protection in the Caribbean Handbook

This handbook provides theoretical background and practical guidance for using social protection programmes and systems to respond to shocks in the Caribbean, including related to cash transfers. It is informed by eight case studies, a regional review of experiences and government-to-government learning events. The handbook includes a strong focus on preparedness. While aimed at persons working on social protection and disaster risk management in the Caribbean, the issues covered may be relevant to persons in other regions.
