Title: Social protection for Africa's children
Description: Social Protection for Africa's Children is divided into four parts. The first presents economic and human-rights-based right arguments for social protection as an integral part of the social policy menu in Africa. This is followed by a part on targeting, which highlights some of the key policy trade-offs faced when deciding between alternative target groups. The third part presents rigorous quantitative evidence on the impact of social cash transfers on children from programs in South Africa, Malawi and Ethiopia, and the final part addresses a set of issues related to social justice and human rights. This book significantly advances existing knowledge about social protection for children in Africa, both conceptually and empirically.
