This definition combines the traditional social protection tools, including labor market interventions, social insurance programs and social safety nets, under a unifying theme. It extends beyond the public provision of risk management. The concept of social risk management exceeds the new definition of SP and comprises risk management (RM) policies such as agricultural projects, which reduce the effects of drought, and economic policy, which reduces macroeconomic shocks. On the other hand, the definition of social protection goes beyond SRM and includes measures to support the critically poor.
