Scaling social protection in Nepal: From hypotheses to reality

This brief will explore the existing SP system in Nepal and hypothesise how it could have been scaled up to address the impacts of the 2017 flood. The exercise is designed to be illustrative of the opportunities to use these systems to manage climate risk and does not intend to comment on or review the actual 2017 flood responses undertaken. In doing so, entry points to making the SP system more climate adaptive in Nepal will be identified and its potential use in future floods will be examined
