Integrated multi-sectoral strategies that incorporate social protection are effective adaptation responses  . Social protection programmes, such as cash transfers, weather index insurance and asset-building activities such as well construction, can support short-term responses to acute food insecurity in response to extreme events but can also build adaptive capacity longer term . An assessment of an adaptive social protection programme in the Sahel found that tailored seasonal forecasting can improve responsiveness to climate-related extreme events, but investment in capacity building and dialogue between forecasters, community groups and humanitarian organisations is needed . Forecast- based financing, which automatically disperses funds when threshold forecasts are reached for an extreme event , used in Bangladesh prior to a 2017 flood event allowed low- income, flood-prone communities to access better-quality food in the short term without accruing debt .
