#socialprotection programs scaled up by 217% in response to #Covid.

But... how have #cashtransfers and other programs been financed?

Inside the Tigray region, restricted access and the ongoing communication blackout have left an estimated 2.3 million children in need of humanitarian assistance and out of reach.

Every effort should be made to keep children out of harm’s way. https://t.co/W28YuSgxx9

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a persistent myth that children are barely affected by the disease. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The future of an entire generation is at risk.

Nearly one-quarter of Europe’s children remain at risk of poverty or social exclusion. We must act. Together with @UNICEF_EU we are launching the 3rd phase of the Preparatory Action in 🇧🇬 🇭🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇷 🇮🇹 🇱🇹 🇪🇸 for a #ChildGuarantee to test out ways to eradicate child poverty.

In 2017, @LabourSPKE started the journey of establishing a #CoP for #SocialProtection.

Today, we join @SP_Kenya in celebrating the launch of this innovative facility.

#COVID19 has major implications for govt budgets — social sector budgets are shifting rapidly as education is disrupted & the delivery of health services changes.

What is #CashPlus?

Research shows that when cash is combined with other services, like health insurance or livelihood training, the benefits of cash transfers are boosted and their impacts ⬆️.

Millions of children have been pushed into multidimensional poverty due to the #COVID19 pandemic – and the poorest are getting poorer.

Now is the time to rapidly expand social protection systems, to mitigate the impact of the crisis on children.

[UNICEF USA @UNICEFUSA]

Even brief stays in poverty can cause children lifelong harm, @nytimes writes — especially when the children are young. And in the #COVID19 pandemic, low-income families are being hit the hardest.

A childhood allowance could change everything: https://t.co/WiBvOUp3Y9

[UNICEF Economic & Social Policy @UNICEFSocPolicy]

"Cash plus" programmes are social protection interventions that provide regular transfers in combination with additional components or linkages, such as health insurance or livelihood training, that seek to augment income effects.

Cash benefits can make all the difference in a child’s wellbeing.

UNICEF-supported cash transfer programmes reached 5⃣1⃣ million children in 78 countries in 2019, including more than 8 million in humanitarian settings.

One way in which #cashtransfers save lives is by reducing suicides.

A handy summary by @LukasHenselEcon finds that cash in Indonesia reduced suicides by 18% of the mean suicide rate. In #Brazil, the decrease due to transfers was between 3.4% and 7.9%.

[UNICEF Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia]

In #Ethiopia, protecting vulnerable families becomes more urgent as #COVID19 takes its economic toll

Great to see @mich_rutk of @WorldBank moving towards a recognition that countries need to put in place universal entitlements to social protection and the importance of reaching the 'missing middle': https://t.co/8SFq2wBZez Better late than never! @AndrewM_Fischer @knoxvydmanov
