Whereas before it targeted <em>woreda<\/em>s (districts) with a history of food insecurity, it now prioritises those experiencing &lsquo;extreme poverty through shocks&rsquo; &ndash; particularly drought. In so doing, the government has rebranded the PSNP as an &lsquo;adaptive&rsquo; safety net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus of the &lsquo;adaptive social protection&rsquo; policy agenda, however, extends beyond responding to biophysical risks associated with climate variability and change: it also seeks to address non-climatic, contextual factors underpinning relational vulnerability to climate change. This study therefore asks whether the PSNP&rsquo;s system of geographical targeting at the start of its fifth phase aligns with this more comprehensive framing of &lsquo;adaptive social protection&rsquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results highlight that PSNP administrators need to pay more attention to certain risks as they consider expanding the programme&rsquo;s geographical footprint so that it becomes more &lsquo;adaptive&rsquo;. Doing so could better support the strengthening of PSNP participants&rsquo; long-term resilience to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key points for decision-makers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a flagship social protection programme in Ethiopia, established more than 15 years ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Government has recently taken the impacts of climate change into consideration and branded the PSNP an &lsquo;adaptive&rsquo; programme that aims to build the resilience of households living in extreme poverty due to livelihood shocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controlling for poverty headcount rate and population density, the authors assess whether the <em>woreda<\/em>s (districts) covered by the PSNP are those most exposed to three major risks in the country: drought, flooding and political conflict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drought and flooding are the two major biophysical climatic hazards. Proximity to conflict is just one example of a socio-political factor contributing to relational vulnerability to climate change, but is crucial to consider given the recent escalation of civil unrest in Ethiopia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The authors find that PSNP coverage is positively associated with districts experiencing higher year-on-year drought conditions, yet <em>woreda<\/em>s with higher multi-year drought variability are less likely to be covered. This shows that the programme&rsquo;s consideration of what constitutes drought risk is limited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They find no relationship between PSNP coverage and exposure to flood risk, which is unevenly distributed across the country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the programme is currently well-targeted towards districts facing disproportionately high levels of political insecurity, this association disappears if the recent escalation of conflict beginning in 2020 is disregarded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>This working paper considers how the geographical expansion of Ethiopia&rsquo;s social protection programme can address climate related risks in an adaptive way.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":67250,"template":"","tags":[122,2346,4427,1850,2031,1019,245,114,284,1864],"publication-type":[435],"topic_area":[4692,4694],"class_list":["post-67247","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-africa","tag-climate-adaptation","tag-climate-resilience","tag-climate-risk","tag-conflict","tag-drought","tag-ethiopia","tag-flooding","tag-poverty","tag-social-protection","publication-type-working-papers","topic_area-adaptation-and-resilience","topic_area-policy-evaluation"],"acf":{"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"show_translations_widget":{"ref_value":"field_6203d588c41e8","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":["https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/working-paper-399-tenzig-conway.pdf"],"type":"download","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["janna-tenzing","declan-conway"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does the geographical footprint of Ethiopia\u2019s flagship social protection programme align with climatic and conflict risks?
