Despite important strides in the fight against poverty in the past
two decades, child poverty remains widespread and persistent,
particularly in Africa. Poverty in all its dimensions is
detrimental for early childhood development and often results in
unreversed damage to the lives of girls and boys, locking children
and families into intergenerational poverty. This edited volume
contributes to the policy initiatives aiming to reduce child
poverty and academic understanding of child poverty and its
solutions by bringing together applied research from across the
continent. With the Sustainable Development Goals having opened up
an important space for the fight against child poverty, not least
by broadening its conceptualization to be multidimensional, this
collection aims to push the frontiers by challenging existing
narratives and exploring alternative understandings of the
complexities and dynamics underpinning child poverty. Furthermore,
it examines policy options that work to address this critical
challenge.
