Although cash transfers are most prevalent, some country strategies include combinations of interventions such as food, livelihood inputs and support, asset building, public works and social services. The strategies vary in their commitment to social rights, their institutional and funding arrangements, the reach, scope and design of the programmes, and the behavioural conditions attached to grant access. The proliferation of national social protection in the Global South has been widely supported by governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers researchers and policymakers much to think about when considering the rapid growth of social protection in southern Africa, the challenges this presents and the opportunities it offers for social development and economic growth. Hence, the book is a contribution to scholarship and policy debate on how to solve intractable social development problems in Africa and elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eDevelopment Southern Africa\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leila Patel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415727251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415727259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Leila Patel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136113160447,"sku":"9780415727259","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64d2ff98-86bf-4637-8607-add5a5ab0478.jpg?v=1770160598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-protection-in-southern-africa-leila-patel-9780415727259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
