    D. Chopra / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014
    This policy briefing argues that unpaid care work and social protection are intrinsically linked. Women and girls' uptake of social protection provisions is affected by their unpaid care work responsibilities.

    Gender-equitable public investment: how time-use surveys can help

    M. Fontana / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014

    Connecting unpaid care work and childhood development for gains in women and children’s rights

    D. Chopra / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014
    This policy briefing argues that women’s rights and children’s rights directly influence each other, yet there have been few successes at tackling the agendas in a collaborative way, limiting the quality of policy and practice in both areas.

    Agricultural Impact Evaluation is Failing to Measure Up

    M. Loevinsohn / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014
    New technology that enables sustainable and profitable production of food is critical for both food and nutrition security and economic development. Yet, recent research suggests assessments of the productivity gains farmers realise from new technology are routinely flawed methodologically and hence unreliable as a basis for decision making.

    Mitigating ‘non-conflict’ violence by creating peaceful political settlements

    M. Schultze-Kraft / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014
    Understanding and addressing ‘non-conflict’ violence is a key challenge for development. Different types of ‘non-conflict’ violence, such as homicide, massacres, armed robbery and gender-based violence, which occur outside of armed conflict contexts involving state or other parties, are not only reflections of social problems like youth unemployment and gang culture.

    M. Loevinsohn, J. Sumberg, A. Diagne, S. Whitfield / Institute of Development Studies UK, 2013
    New technology that enables sustainable and profitable production of food and fibre is critical for both food security and economic development.

    Gender and Food Security: Towards Gender-Just Food and Nutrition Security

    Institute of Development Studies UK, 2014
    There is more than enough food in the world to feed everyone, but the number of people who do not have enough to eat remains unacceptably high, with disproportionate impacts on women and girls. Reversing this shocking trend must be a top priority for governments and international institutions and responses must treat food insecurity as a gender equality, rights and social justice issue.
