Enabling capabilities
This study examines the role of social capital in enabling migration in Hadiya and Wolaita, and among migrants in Addis Ababa, drawing on Sen’s capability approach. Using a mixed-methods design, including household and individual surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews, we explore how bonding and bridging social capital convert mobility as a capability into meaningful choices, outcomes, and achieved functionings. Migration is a collec…
Understanding the climate, migration, social protection nexus from a youth mobility dimension
Climate change is a threat multiplier for human migration, with those reliant on rain-fed agriculture being particularly vulnerable to climate change. This can manifest as increased poverty and potentially as climate-induced migration to seek alternative livelihood options. The interactions between climate vulnerability and social protection policy, in particular how they shape migration patterns, are poorly understood. There is significant poten…
Managing two locations
Using design thinking and community development principles to optimise the interaction between informal and formal social protection systems
Informal social protection systems (ISPs) continue to play a significant role where government-sanctioned social security measures do not reach vulnerable populations. Despite their essence and utility, they remain marginalised in social policy, theory, and practice, and thus many call for their integration. However, research has often overlooked factors embedded in the integration process particularly how these can affect the future performance …
Reflections on government‐led social assistance programmes under Zimbabwe's National Social Protection Policy Framework
Social protection has gained global recognition for its role in addressing poverty, yet delivering social protection remains an intractable challenge for governments in the Global South. In this article, we assess the performance of government‐run social assistance in Zimbabwe. Our assessment begins in 2016 when the National Social Protection Policy Framework (NSPPF) was promulgated to maximize returns on social investments. Utilizing a systemati…
On crossroads between the right to shelter and looming chances of displacement
Flood-induced displacements are a common feature in rural Zimbabwe and there seems to be a lack of deliberate policy and political commitment from the government. Several factors have increased the susceptibility of communities to flood hazards, ranging from poor housing structures, lack of building standards to ensure resilient structures, and climate change. This paper is an outcome of a one-year study from March 2018 to March 2019. The study a…
Situating Dashed Prospects of Independence into the Xenophobic Narrative in South Africa
Xenophobia in South Africa is often depicted as anti-immigrant sentiments and stereotypes that emanate from social, political, and economic misconceptions. This paper argues that though the causes of xenophobia are many and complex, they stem from the dashed hopes of independence and the legacy of apartheid. This narrative has over the years been overshadowed by the view that xenophobic attacks in South Africa are a product of hate and anti-migra…
