Operationalising social protection in Malawi

In the following interview Ralf Radermacher, Head of Sector Social Protection at giz:

• Brings attention to improving multi-stakeholder coordination, and;
• Draws on lessons learnt from supporting the Malawian Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development to harmonise instruments of the National Social Support Programme.

The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Malawi has also published a video on social protection instruments applied in the country. You can further read the summary of impacts of the Malawi Social Cash Transfer Programme conducted by The Transfer Project for further evidence on the benefits of unconditional cash transfers for generating food security and reducing poverty.

In September, SPaN plans to publish country case studies showcasing global experiences of delivering humanitarian assistance through national social protection systems.

If you would like to demonstrate how EUD’s or ECHO's field offices are operationalising social protection across the nexus, the SPaN Team stands ready to support you!
