Toolbox – Linking Humanitarian CVA and Social Protection

Finding the right information about linking social protection to CVA can be challenging; there are simply so many materials to select from. 

This toolbox makes that work easier, bringing together a key set of 150+ practical resources, guidance and templates all in one place.  

The resources are sourced from a variety of organisations and contexts, and all link social protection to CVA. 

Who is this toolbox for? 

✔️Humanitarian actors seeking to link humanitarian CVA with social protection systems. 

✔️Social protection actors (in and outside government) working in contexts where opportunities exist to link humanitarian action and social protection. 

The toolbox brings together:  

• Feasibility assessment and options analysis: Technical guidance or tools for assessing the feasibility and options for linking. 
• Guidance for programme design: Practical guidance or tools for designing CVA programmes, or operational processes, linked to social protection. 

• Country-specific resources and templates: Real life procedures from specific countries/responses that can serve as a working example or template for others to follow. (E.g. TORs for coordination groups; SOPS for triggering a response through social protection; MOUs setting out roles and responsibilities for humanitarian and social protection actors in shock response, etc.) 
• Training or topic summaries: Resources introducing the subject area, e.g., introductory or overview videos, training for newcomers to SP, etc. 

Please note: Some resources fall into more than one category.  Note that the categories have also been duplicated into separate worksheets within the Excel spreadsheet for ease of use.
