Recent years have witnessed increased global attention and investment in inclusive and gender-responsive social protection programming in low- and middle-income countries. While high-level design commitments are important and welcome, in practice, they may not guarantee protection from vulnerabilities and a reduction in gender inequality. Programme implementation presents a critical, yet often underestimated, challenge. This article offers insights into the reality of implementing the gender provisions of Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme. Drawing on qualitative data from rural Ethiopia, it shows that the implementation of the gender provisions has generated implementation gaps and inconsistencies. The findings highlight the need to move beyond commitments on paper and allocate greater resources and attention to the implementation of gender-responsive social protection
