ABSTRACT

This paper provides a framework to move progressively from gender-sensitive or gender-responsive approaches towards promoting a more ambitious gender transformative agenda (GTA). To do so, it reviews a range of social protection policies and livelihoods programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa, including those that target women’s economic inclusion through asset grants, public works and training.
