2010 European Report on Development - Social Protection for Inclusive Development
The ERD 2010, “Social Protection for Inclusive Development”, was officially launched on 07 December 2010 at the European Development Days, in Brussels.
The ERD 2010 focuses on the role of formal and informal mechanisms of social protection as a means to enhance the resilience of Sub Saharan countries when faced with shocks (short term) and structural vulnerabilities such as poverty traps (long term). Specific interventions targeting the most vulnerable sectors of the population are increasingly considered necessary complements of more traditional pro-growth policies – especially when dealing with emerging unstable global socio-economic scenarios."
The European Report on Development (ERD) is the main outcome of the Mobilizing European Research for Development Policies, an initiative promoted and financed by the EC together with seven EU member states: Germany, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, and the UK.
The aim of the ERD initiative is to help the EU refine its vision of development and enrich its policies on the basis of knowledge, innovation, and the building of common ground between the European research community, policymakers, and a broad public.
