Description
In 2021, a joint simulation exercise was organised to explore the possibility of connecting anticipatory cash transfers to existing social protection systems in the Philippines, with a focus on testing coordination procedures for multiple participating agencies to intervene simultaneously. Drawing on interviews with key informants, this case study focuses on the lessons learned during the simulation exercise and explores how this modality can build upon existing social protection programmes to increase its reach and efficiency.
