Strengthening Social Policy: Lessons on forging government-civil society policy partnerships
The culmination of a two year CIDA-funded project, this book looks at a series of innovative experiences and common lessons that can help government and civil society actors address social policy challenges. Edited by the Institute On Governance, the publication contains fascinating case studies on indigenous peoples' rights, children's rights, maternity leave, consumer rights, and the prostitution and trafficking of women. The studies were prepared by lead researchers in each of the five participating countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Canada. The publication captured the attention of the World Bank Institute, who invited the IOG down to launch their series of Brown Bag discussions in November 2004.
