Summary: Explores the concept of the Public Works Programme (PWP) and interrogates its social protection performance in the context of chronic poverty. Reviews over 200 PWPs in eastern and southern Africa. Examines the function and limitations of PWPs, and outlines major programme choice and design issues, drawing lessons from the international context, and challenging the assumptions underlying these policy preferences, thus opening the way for more informed and appropriate policy selection. Makes a case for a reconsideration of the function of PWPs in the current social protection discourse, and argues that the current PWP approach may not look so attractive from the beneficiary perspective. |
