About IIED's publications

In recognition of the climate risk and poverty nexus, the role of social protection in facilitating climate resilience is under investigation. A synthesis of evidence from Sub-Saharan African countries indicates that cash transfers can reduce the impact of weather shocks for poor households (Asfaw and Davis, 2018). Innovations to make social protection provision more climate risk responsive are taking place in various countries, including Ethiopia and Mozambique.
