No wp-2025-4, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This working paper examines Tanzania's social protection system amidst growing humanitarian crises driven by climate change, health epidemics, and regional conflicts. It explores the social protection needs experienced in humanitarian settings, the challenges in implementation and expansion of social protection schemes, and the opportunities for future policy reform to move towards shock-responsive systems. The study underscores the importance of integrating humanitarian responses into national social protection frameworks and expanding social protection to informal sector groups.
