What does ASPP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Adaptive Social Protection Program (ASPP) is a program designed to provide social protection initiatives to the most vulnerable communities and individuals in order to create sustainable progress, security and stability, reduce poverty, and combat inequality.

ASPP works by implementing different types of social protection initiatives that can have short-term or long-term effects for communities or individuals. These include cash transfers, safety nets, public works programs, in-kind transfers and other forms of support.

The primary beneficiaries of ASPP are those who are believed to be the most vulnerable in society - such as smallholder farmers, people living in extreme poverty or those with disabilities or chronic illnesses.

Through providing access to resources like education, skills training and improved health services, long-term benefits of ASPP include economic growth through increased productivity; improved employability; reduced income inequality; better health outcomes; more resilient households; greater cultural diversity; more accountable government actions; greater social cohesion between groups within society.

Support from an adaptive social protection program can come in several forms such as cash transfers, safety nets, public works programs, capital investment grants, employment opportunities or direct provision of food commodities. In some cases you may also receive access to basic services such as water supply systems or health care facilities.
