Summary:	Millions of pounds of international development funds are invested annually in social protection programmes to tackle poverty.

Drawing on empirical evidence from poor households and communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, this book introduces a much-needed gender lens to these debates. With a foreword by Stephen Devereux.
