Abstract

This study explores the social protection and humanitarian emergency nexus in Zambia. Drawing on 25 stakeholder interviews and relevant literature sources, it seeks to (i) identify the social protection needs experienced in the country in the context of different shocks and crises; (ii) elucidate the current barriers to effective delivery of social protection arrangements and their expansion to better respond to humanitarian contexts; and (iii) map views on the ground concerning opportunities and ways forward in pursuit of a shock-responsive social protection system.
