AIDSOCPRO (Aiding Social Protection: the Political Economy of Externally Financing Social Policy in Developing Countries)

The AIDSOCPRO project officially started in May 2015 and runs for five years, led by Andrew Fischer, Associate Professor of Social Policy and Development Studies at ISS. It examines the political economy of international development assistance directed towards the emerging social protection agenda among donors. The objective is to re-orient our thinking towards a deeper appreciation of the systemic political and economic challenges facing global redistribution towards poorer countries.

AIDSOCPRO is a research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant scheme, grant no. 638647.
