#APSP2023 | Day 3 | Parallel Session 6D | Child Sensitive Social Protection

Numerous studies highlight the positive impact of cash transfers on various outcomes, including health, nutrition, education, and poverty reduction, especially for households with children. However, cash transfers alone are not a ‘silver bullet’ for addressing children’s needs and reducing poverty. Cash "plus" interventions combine cash transfers with complementary support critical to children's well-being. These may include additional benefits, in-kind transfers, behavior change communication, psychosocial support, and facilitating access to external services, such as healthcare and education. In Asia and the Pacific region, countries are moving toward integrated social protection systems that require inter-ministerial coordination. Rather than burdening the social protection entity alone, this approach seeks to connect various services to address children's comprehensive needs.

This session aimed to explore what a cash plus or integrated approach means for children in Asia and the Pacific. The session set to unpack the opportunities, challenges, and lessons to implement integrated programming to increase access to and quality of essential services and drew implementation insights from the South and South-East Asia.
