Sumario:Millions of pounds of international development funds are invested annually in social protection programmes to tackle poverty. Poverty is perpetuated by risk and vulnerability, much of which is gendered. Despite this, little attention has been paid to gender-sensitive policy implementation.

With a foreword by Stephen Devereux.
Notas:Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP): an antidote to emergency-focused development.
