This book is an outstanding contribution to the literature on child poverty, both in terms of its excellent analytical perspective and its practical policy contributions. Noting that almost half of the population in Central and Western Africa are children, it emphasises that the features of child poverty can be quite different from those of adult poverty. Also, the book rightly highlights the importance of inequality--as well as the common lack of basic social services and social protection--as key factors in keeping the levels of child poverty high in Central and Western Africa. Chapter 1 is particularly noteworthy for arguing that child-focused social protection measures need to be practically oriented to a prevailing context of rising inequality, which has emerged as a major impediment to poverty reduction efforts., Comparative case studies and empirical evidence, along with important theoretical insights on childhood deprivation, are at the core of this outstanding book that should be mandatory reading for policy makers as well as academic researchers and graduate students who are working in this field., This is an important volume that introduces a set of analytical tools for coming to grips with the still extensive childhood deprivations prevalent in West and Central Africa. In using multi-pronged data sets, it presents context-specific country and thematic studies that build up the arguments for un-conditional social protection within a broader set of policies to address pervasive and widening inequalities. It illustrates how neglect in building capabilities in children, in protecting their rights and in enabling them to grow up in households without severe deprivations in their diverse communities and life-situations will have far-reaching costs to them and their societies--and fundamentally challenge the achievement of the 2030/SDG agenda in the region. This type of context-specific data-driven analysis and the discussions it has generated should inspire policy makers towards interventions that really are effective and efficient for achieving the global agenda of social justice and to leave no one behind.

Synopsis
This timely book deals jointly with multi-dimensional child poverty and social protection in Western and Central Africa in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Livingstone declaration, and the UN Social Protection Floor. It argues that an improved social protection coverage is needed to prevent and address the consequences of child poverty, because in spite of a decline of child poverty since the start of the millennium, concomitant problems such as the increasing number of child brides, unregulated migration, and child trafficking remain intractable. Child poverty is different from adult poverty, requiring its own, independent measurement. This book posits that child poverty should be measured based on constitutive rights of poverty, using a multi-dimensional approach. The case is also made that the underlying drivers of child poverty are inequity and inequality, lack of access to basic social services, and the presence of families without any type of social protection. Mapping current interventions, practices, and contributions of social protection in dealing with child poverty whilst recognizing its limitations, no practical policy recommendations for Western and Central Africa can be devised without acknowledging the results contained in this volume. Book jacket., In the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Livingstone declaration, and the UN Social Protection Floor, this book deals jointly with multidimensional child poverty and social protection in Central and Western Africa. It focuses both on extent and types of social protection coverage and assesses various child poverty trends in the region. More importantly, it looks at social protection to prevent and address the consequences of child poverty. Child poverty is distinct, conceptually, and different, quantitatively, from adult poverty. It requires its own independent measurement--otherwise half of the population in developing countries may be unaccounted for when assessing poverty reduction. This book posits that child poverty should be measured based on constitutive rights of poverty, using a multidimensional approach. The argument is supported by chapters actually applying and expanding this approach. In addition, the case is made that the underlying drivers of child poverty are inequality, lack of access to basic social services, and the presence of families without any type of social protection. As a result, the case for social protection in contributing to reduce and eliminate child protection and its consequences is made. Poverty reduction has been high on the international agenda since the start of the millennium. First as part of the MDGs and now included in the SDGs. However, in spite of a decline in the incidence of child poverty, the number of poor children is harder to reduce due to population dynamics. As a result, concomitant problems such as the increasing number of child brides, unregulated/dangerous migration, unabated child trafficking, etc. remain intractable. Understanding the root causes of child poverty and its characteristics in Central and Western Africa is fundamental to designing innovative ways to address it. It is also important to map the interventions, describe the practices, appreciate the challenges, recognize the limitations, and highlight the contributions of social protection and its role in dealing with child poverty. No practical policy recommendations can be devised without this knowledge.
