Development agencies often possess extraordinary presence, knowledge and expertise of addressing poverty and vulnerability at the field level. The challenge is to ensure this good practice and innovation is captured and used to inform policy and programmes in an effective way. With funding from Irish Aid, the Centre for Social Protection at IDS formed a partnership with UNICEF to research how social protection programming can interrupt the intergenerational transfer of poverty (IGT) through investments in human capital (education, health, nutrition).

Research aimed to understand which factors in social protection programming (e.g. design, implementation) account for success. The three country case studies were chosen because they are social protection programmes that are at different stages. The Zambia SCT is at the stage of scaling up design from a pilot to a national scale social protection programme. The Kenya OVC-SCT is at the stage of expanding a national social protection programme. The Mongolia CMP was a national social protection programme that had been terminated, providing insights into why programmes fail to establish themselves in the long term.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100617,"journal":{"name":"IDS Research Reports","volume":"2011 69","pages":"1-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.2040-0217.2011.00069_2.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87118403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, these systems intertwine more than they conflict, and there are significant overlaps and confusion with regard to the mandates of the existing institutions, structures and actors involved.

This research report covers the aspects of the political and institutional environment that helped engender change, as well as constraints faced by the reform agenda. It considers how the officers actually carried out the task at hand, and shares lessons as to what reform tactics worked and which were less successful. While several challenges remain, the reform programme, centred around local needs policing has been largely successful, hinging on – among other factors – the appointment of a British Inspector General of Police, perceived to be neutral and above political machinations, supported by a core of reform-minded officers; long-term external technical and financial assistance; and a conducive political environment for change.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100617,"journal":{"name":"IDS Research Reports","volume":"2011 70","pages":"1-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.2040-0217.2011.00070_2.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79665240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, little of the popular debate refers to the now considerable body of evidence about the impact of such taxes. This review attempts to synthesise what we know from the available theoretical and empirical literature about the impact of FTTs on volatility in financial markets. We also review the literature on how a Tobin tax might be implemented, the amount of revenue that it might realistically produce, and the likely incidence of the tax. We conclude that, contrary to what is often assumed, a Tobin tax is feasible and, if appropriately designed, could make a significant contribution to revenue without causing major distortions.
