Adaptive social protection
Adaptive social protection (ASP) helps to build the resilience of poor and vulnerable households to the impacts of large, covariate shocks, such as natural hazard events, economic crises, pandemics, conflict and forced displacement. Through the provision of transfers and services directly to these households, adaptive social protection supports their capacity to prepare for, cope with, and adapt to the shocks they face—before, during, and after these shocks occur (the Centre, based on World Bank 2020).
