Download or read book Integrating gender into the design of cash transfer and public works programmes FAO Technical Guide 2 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many social protection programmes, including cash transfers, public works programmes and asset transfers, target women as main beneficiaries or recipients of benefits. Extending social protection to rural populations has great potential for fostering rural women’s economic empowerment. However, to tap into this potential, more needs to be done. There is much scope for making social protection policies and programmes more gender sensitive and for better aligning them with agricultural and rural development policies to help address gender inequalities. Recognizing this potential and capitalizing on existing evidence, FAO seeks to enhance the contribution of social protection to gender equality and women’s empowerment by providing country-level support through capacity development, knowledge generation and programme support.To move forward this agenda, FAO has developed the Technical Guidance Toolkit on Gender-sensitive Social Protection Programmes to Combat Rural Poverty and Hunger. The Toolkit is designed to support SP and gender policy-makers and practitioners in their efforts to systematically apply a gender lens to SP programmes in ways that are in line with global agreements and FAO commitments to expand inclusive SP systems for rural populations. The Toolkit focuses on the role of SP in reducing gendered social inequalities, and rural poverty and hunger.

Download or read book IMF Programmes in Developing Countries written by Tony Killick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Monetary Fund is the centre of a global financial system that encourages budgetary discipline and full integration into world trade to facilitate development and alleviate poverty. Yet this policy 'conditionality' of the IMF is highly controversial. Critics state that fifty years of IMF existence has been 'fifty years too long', and that its doctrinaire policy must change or Fund programmes will have only limited ability to achieve their objectives. This book examines the arguments, tracing the extent of Fund adaptation, presenting major new evidence on the consequences of Fund programmes, and considering its future role.

Download or read book Preventing Fraud and Improper Practices in Contracted Employment Programmes written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department spends around £900 million annually on programmes to help unemployed people find and sustain work through its contracts with a range of companies and some charities. Following a hearing on the Work Programme in February 2012, allegations of potential fraud and poor service from employment programme clients and whistleblowers were passed to the Department. The Department has initiated an investigation of the adequacy of controls at A4e, one of its major contractors, and is investigating individual allegations. The Department has not defined what standards a company must meet to be a 'fit and proper' organisation with which the Department is willing to contract. The Department's controls against financial fraud for the Work Programme are a significant improvement on previous schemes, although allegations that some providers give a poor service have already begun. Furthermore, risks also remain in the Department's other programmes. The Department's 'black box' approach to contracting for the Work Programme allows providers to innovate but without sufficient auditing and neither is there a mechanism in the contract for improving service standards over time. The Department lacks sufficient information on the nature and number of complaints made directly to contractors to identify trends and learn lessons. There is also no obvious mechanism through which participants, contractors' employees or MPs can raise issues of concern relating to fraud and poor service. While it may be tempting to define an acceptable level of fraud it the committee's view that this is the wrong approach. Rather the department should take all reasonable and affordable steps to drive out fraud
