Descripción del programa
Post-crisis recovery demands social assistance systems that are robust, responsive, and administratively coherent. Protracted instability often leaves public delivery channels deeply fragmented, with multiple parallel assistance schemes operating across distinct government bodies and international agencies. This five-day executive programme in Tunis equips social policy leads with the technical tools needed to map disparate cash, voucher, and in-kind interventions, identify structural duplications, and draft realistic roadmaps for national safety net consolidation that reflect the operational realities of post-crisis institutional recovery.
Participants explore the core building blocks of unified social protection delivery systems, focusing on modern social registry design, institutional coordination structures, and objective targeting methodologies. The curriculum examines proxy means testing, community-based verification, and multi-tiered vulnerability assessments to replace ad hoc selection criteria with equitable standards. Through comparative case analysis, delegates evaluate strategies for bridging emergency humanitarian assistance and long-term state-led safety nets, ensuring that crisis-affected populations receive coherent, predictable support while public administrative infrastructure is restored.
The training emphasizes institutional coordination mechanisms, data governance, and fiscal sustainability. Operating in Tunis, delegates engage in applied policy design exercises, examining interoperability frameworks, unified grievance redress mechanisms, and robust monitoring frameworks. By testing administrative consolidation tools against typical post-conflict bottlenecks, such as divided ministerial mandates, contested civil registries, and volatile fiscal spaces, attendees acquire the operational confidence needed to lead national social protection reforms, harmonise donor-financed social safety net projects, and formulate evidence-based policy proposals.
Institutional fragmentation poses a continuous challenge to basic public service delivery in post-crisis transitions, particularly in environments recovering from sustained administrative division. Transition assistance frameworks, including state-building mechanisms supporting Libyan recovery, prioritize the consolidation of fragmented emergency safety nets into durable, unified social protection systems. Addressing this fragmentation is critical now to reduce administrative waste, resolve duplicate beneficiary allocations, and re-establish transparent social contracts. Transition leads need immediate operational capability to align disparate transfer schemes, coordinate civil data infrastructure, and design inclusive national policies that support stabilization.
Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Tunis, Tunisia, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

The Growing Importance of Post-Crisis Social Protection System Harmonisation and Policy Design in Tunis
Los financiadores exigen ahora que los proyectos identifiquen y gestionen los riesgos ambientales y sociales desde el principio, e impliquen a las personas afectadas. Una gestión deficiente de las salvaguardas provoca retrasos, suspensiones de desembolsos y daños duraderos a las comunidades.
Las buenas prácticas en participación de las partes interesadas, gestión de reclamaciones, inclusión y reasentamiento protegen a las personas y mantienen los proyectos en marcha. Los equipos que conocen las normas y las aplican desde el principio ahorran tiempo y generan confianza.
Las organizaciones necesitan cada vez más profesionales capaces de:
- Analizar y clasificar los riesgos ambientales y sociales
- Preparar y aplicar planes de gestión
- Implicar de forma significativa a las partes interesadas durante todo el proyecto
- Gestionar mecanismos de reclamación que resuelvan los problemas
- Hacer el seguimiento de los compromisos con los financiadores e informar sobre ellos
Unos sistemas sólidos de gestión ambiental, social y de partes interesadas ayudan a las organizaciones a:
- Evitar retrasos y suspensiones de desembolsos
- Proteger a las comunidades y a los trabajadores
- Cumplir las normas y los compromisos de los financiadores
- Generar confianza con las personas afectadas y con el público
This Post-Crisis Social Protection System Harmonisation and Policy Design in Tunis programme brings these elements together in a practical format, so that participants understand not only what good practice looks like but also how to introduce it in their own setting, with the people and resources they have.
