Africa has a long experience with reducing poverty and vulnerability. In the contemporary period, social development and social work are at the forefront of dealing with abject poverty and some of the world’s most difficult problems. This book brings research in Africa to the forefront so that those in other regions of the world can learn from it. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Community Practice.
