Abstract
This paper introduces a series written for the Children’s Institute’s Means to Live Project. The project’s aim is to evaluate the government’s targeting mechanisms used to ensure the realisation of the socio-economic rights of poor children and their families. Put more simply, it seeks to establish: whether current poverty alleviation initiatives are adequately designed and implemented to reach the poor, including children.
• Who is included and excluded from poverty alleviation programmes, why, and with what consequences.
• What policies and programme recommendations need to be taken forward to ensure the realisation of children’s socio-economic rights.
The research will be used to advocate for the necessary development or changes to government policies and programmes to ensure full realisation of these socio-economic rights.
