Dear Colleagues,

As humanitarian crises and climate-related shocks intensify in both scale and complexity, there is a growing need to strengthen inclusive and locally led systems that ensure timely and dignified assistance to affected communities. Among the most effective tools in this effort are Humanitarian Cash Transfers, especially when harmonized with existing shock-responsive social protection frameworks.

In this context, Sphere India Academy is organizing a virtual panel discussion on: Harmonizing Social Protection & Locally Led, Inclusive Humanitarian Cash Transfer

Date: 22nd July 2025

Time: 03:00 PM – 04:30 PM IST

The session aims to bring together key voices from government, civil society, and humanitarian agencies to explore actionable strategies for embedding local leadership, gender equity, and community platforms (like SHGs and Panchayats) within India’s cash assistance landscape.
