The Social Protection Programme has an extensive agenda of completed and ongoing work. Project outputs include:
Building policy dialogue e.g. multi-year policy research and dialogue on the linkages between social protection and agricultural growth, with six country case-studies in Africa and Asia.
Building a toolbox of social protection instruments e.g. assessing the role of cash transfers in social protection, including a focus on the links between emergency relief and development
Breaking the intergenerational scale of poverty e.g. understanding the role social protection can play in supporting particular social groups, thereby reducing gender inequality and the inter-generational transmission of poverty.
Innovative methodologies for building the evidence base for social protection.
Regular project publications, reports, audio and other resources aim to communicate and disseminate our research findings to relevant audiences to inform policy debate.
Our Programme has a diversified portfolio of work ranging from multi-year and multi-country research programmes to short term and specific case study projects.
We regularly hold public meetings and events to disseminate our research findings as well as the work of other organisations, and to promote and inform discussion and debate on effective social protection policy and programming.
