The study investigates the experiences of a neglected set of local actors – frontline social protection workers and women in civil society organisations, national organisations and local authorities involved in the delivery of assistance.
Recent reviews of how development and humanitarian actors are supporting locally-led aid and frontline capacities suggest important skills are being neglected and sidelined. Building on our previous study on social assistance capacities in Yemen, we are looking deeper at the role and practice of social protection workers and local organisations in providing food and cash transfers in two governorates in Yemen. Informed by BASIC Research conceptual framing of capacity, we focus on how international and local capacity strengthening efforts take into account the needs of women and girls and are strengthening frontline capacities to provide fair and equitable support for women and men in terms of process and outcomes. Our research will be published as an IDS working paper.
