Paper long abstract:

The intersection of social protection and climate resilience is crucial for addressing food insecurity in vulnerable regions. This study will investigate the role of social protection mechanisms in mitigating food crises in Osogbo Metropolis, Nigeria, a city facing climate-induced challenges such as erratic rainfall, flooding, and declining agricultural productivity.

Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, the research will assess how government-led programs, community-based interventions, and informal coping strategies contribute to food security. It will identify policy gaps in social protection frameworks, particularly in addressing climate-induced food shortages and economic shocks.

The findings will provide policy recommendations for integrating climate adaptation strategies into social protection systems to enhance resilience. This research aligns with Panel P26’s focus on translating theory and evidence into better social protection practices, ensuring food security in climate-vulnerable communities.
