Higher numbers than ever before are forcibly displaced globally, for an average of 5 years, and a large proportion of humanitarian assistance, including Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), is being provided in response to these needs. In these contexts:

• What are the options and specific considerations for linking CVA with Social Protection (SP) to support forcibly displaced populations?
• Do entry points differ based on the level of SP system maturity? If so, how?
• What can be done, particularly as part of preparedness, to maximise these linkages?

Objectives:

• Highlight the opportunities, challenges and key considerations for linking forcibly displaced populations to SP systems
• Showcase Turkey as a successful example of aligning assistance for refugees and nationals
• Debate the feasibility of replicating such linkages in different contexts considering political willingness, system maturity, and funding
• Facilitate dialogue between humanitarian and SP stakeholders on this topic

Speakers:

Orhan Hacimehmet, Turkish Red Crescent

Nona Zicherman, UNICEF Turkey
