Putting Children First: New Frontiers in the Fight Against Child Poverty in Africa

BOOK LAUNCH and workshop at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in Brighton, UK

The book launch is incorporated in the workshop event co-hosted by IDS, the DSA/EADI Working Group on Multidimensional Poverty and Poverty Dynamics, Global Coalition to End Child Poverty, the Impact Initiative, with support from CROP.

The edited volume is output from an international conference held in Addis Ababa in October 2017 and includes applied research from across the continent in three themes, namely i) manifestations of child poverty, (ii) child-sensitive social protection, and (iii) transitions from childhood into adulthood.

Book Launch and Workshop Programme

Various presentations during the first and second workshop sessions build on research that is published in the book. The panel discussion at the end of the day will be framed against main themes and messages from the volume.
