This short summary is designed to reflect the major work done to date in the CPRC under this heading, outlining some key findings; and also briefly to look forward to the future. It does this under three headings – the Chronic Poverty Report; country based work; and theme based work. It is a first draft and looks to the Co-ordination Group meeting to fill in gaps.

This research summary was presented at the Social Protection for the Poorest in Africa - Learning from Experience, Entebbe, Uganda, 8-10 September 2008.
