Scholarship Description: Improving and extending the coverage of social protection is a
major challenge in Africa, where less than 10% of the population has access to
social security programs. The aim of this award project is to strengthen the
capacity of policy analysts and professionals responsible for the financial
planning and management of social protection schemes across sub-Saharan Africa,
and understand how they can effectively address the welfare needs of the poor
and the informal sector. IDRC will support 32 masters of science fellowships in
social protection financing at the University of Mauritius, to be selected
through two annual competitions. Course work developed with the support of the
International Labour Organization will have a strong emphasis on quantitative
training. Students will also undertake some research and analysis on such
issues as social protection and its linkages to the informal sector, financing
options, or new social benefits, which respond to IDRC’s Supporting Inclusive Growth
(SIG) thematic priorities. Ideally, the research findings will subsequently be
used by masters graduates to inform policy discussions in their countries.
