13

• Avoid creating parallel systems – plan for leveraging existing platforms to expand and/or interface delivery for shock response (payments, registration, communications)

Use and adapt existing systems

• Have a solid institutional coordination framework to clearly articulate roles and decision-making processes

Develop coordination framework

• Protect social safety net financing to allow contingency for shocksPlan Contingency

• Adjust programme objectives and conditionalities to meet new needs Adapt programming
