GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

Centre for Social Protection

The Centre for Social Protection (CSP) supports a global network of partners working to mainstream social protection in development policy and encourage social protection systems and instruments that are comprehensive, long-term, sustainable and pro-poor.

We produce research on conceptual approaches; design issues, including delivery, targeting and affordability; and impacts of different social protection initiatives.

On these pages you will be able to access publications, resources, project and training information by some of the leading thinkers and practitioners on social protection from around the world, focusing on a number of CSP research themes including: Climate Change Adaptation; Conflict, Food Security and Agriculture, Health, Microfinance, Migration.

The CSP is also the home of the Adaptive Social Protection programme.

What is Social Protection?

Mark Davies from the Centre explains what social protection is and how it can make a difference to the lives of poor people.

Sign-up to our Social Protection e-newsletter.

The CSP produces a quarterly e-newsletter which focuses on social protection research and provides useful resources including relevant publications, events, vacancies and contacts. To subscribe to the newsletter or to contact us for more information email socialprotection@ids.ac.uk
