Because images speak more than 1000 words… here is some inspiration for distancing/safety measures during #SocialProtection #COVID19 #registration & #payments from across the world – keep them coming as replies, with attribution! (1/N) - Starting from #Pakistan... (see thread)
..on #Pakistan, powerful ones here/below but plenty more jaw-dropping photos on @SaniaNishtar's profile.
..and #India - thanks @knoxvydmanov for sharing https://twitter.com/kankanbiswas/status/1250781736696344577
Of course - these partly go against 'routine best practice' of avoiding queues etc (indirect costs for bens, potential for stigma etc), but these are not 'normal times': a) not all countries can do this electronically; b) not all steps of process can be electronic, e.g.'cash-out'
The webinars on @SP_Gateway have also been sharing a few, together with guidance on 'how' - e.g. @HelpAge @FlorianJuergens and others discussing this (with a focus on older people) here . Pics Peru and South Africa? (not sure if correct?)
More PRACTICAL guidance on these measures on the @HelpAge website https://www.helpage.org/what-we-do/covid-19-pensions/ (written for older people, but applies to all) and on the @calpnetwork website https://www.calpnetwork.org/themes/cva-and-covid-19-resources-guidance-events-and-questions/
And another very useful @SP_Gateway webinar led by @WBG_SPLabor & @CGAP on Government-to-Person (G2P) payments in the Covid context and how they were operationalised (leveraging existing systems with important tweaks/changes) in #Ecuador, #Colombia, #Peru (pics below), #Jordan
