This webinar introduced the newly published SPIAC-B Tipsheets for Applying the Common Principles and explored how they can be used at country level. A special focus was on how to strengthen the coordination between humanitarian and social protection actors for effective responses that reach people in need – while also contributing to longer-term system building. The session included reflections from practitioners and space for questions and discussion.
