Abstract
The study specifies the meaning of “social basic protection” as well as the positions significant development actors have adopted in connection with fighting poverty. But this study should not merely provide an important educational basis for our own position finding process and concept development. It can moreover make an important contribution to current debates in Germany, triggered by resolutions of the German Parliament regarding future weighty dealings of public development cooperation with social protection.
