The Poverty and Inequality Practice (PIP) is a small independent UK-based company founded in 2012 which provides research and advisory services to governments and international development agencies on social protection policy development. PIP uses interdisciplinary approaches combining qualitative and quantitative methods and is headed by Anna McCord, working in collaboration with a range of international researchers.
PIP is taking forward a programme of work to examine the implications of climate disruption for Social Protection provision in the medium term, looking at both practical programming issues and also the conception of social protection more widely, through the Climate Change and Social Protection (CCASP) Initiative. Currently PIP is engaged in research collaborations with FAO and UNESCAP on frontier issues relating to the interface between social protection and climate change.
To date PIP has collaborated with: DFAT, Development Pathways, FAO, FCDO, GIZ, the HSRC, IADB, IIED, IFAD, ILO, KFW, ODI, OPM, Oxfam, the Red Cross Climate Centre, Save the Children, UNESCAP, the Universities of Sheffield, Wolverhampton, Manchester and Addis Ababa, and the World Bank.
