“Section II of this document on the research programme for social protection develops the overall conceptual framework and sets out the overall agenda and rationale for this research programme. Section III set forward three research sub themes : protecting income against impoverishment, preventing capability deprivation, social protection and the development of productive capabilities. As a cross cutting theme: pro-poor growth and social protection. Section IV finally deals with its institutional settings, outlines its supportive capacity building initiatives, and provides information on the requirements for a proposal and the proposal process.”
