World Bank course: Effective Social Safety Nets 2010
01.02.2010 - 12.02.2010 | Washington, DC, USA
Two week course aimed at providing participants with an in-depth understanding of the conceptual and practical issues involved in the development of individual safety net programs and full safety net systems that protect poor and vulnerable population groups from income risk, link them to essential social services and help them escape poverty.

Target Audience

This course is designed for policymakers and research staff from civil stakeholders, NGOs involved in the implementation of safety nets, researchers and trainers from academic institutions, and policy analysts from NGOs, journalists working on issues related to poverty reduction and social protection, and operational staff from the World Bank and from bilateral and multilateral donor agencies. As teamwork is important in safety nets programs we encourage interested countries to nominate teams engaged in the design, implementation or evaluation of safety nets programs.

 

Language

The course will be conducted entirely in English and therefore a good command of English is required.
