    Abstract: L'Afrique a connu une forte croissance economique au cours des 2 dernieres decennies. Cependant, les indices de pauvrete chronique restent tres eleves, alors que la frequence des chocs auxquels sont confrontes les menages pauvres s'accentue et que l'ecart entre les differents groupes de revenus s'elargit, particulierement en termes de capital humain et d'acces aux services essentiels. A travers le soutien regulier et fiable aux menages pauvres et vulnerables et l'appui a l'investissement productif, les interventions ciblees telles que les filets sociaux ont fait la preuve de leur capacite a faire reculer la pauvrete, a renverser les inegalites croissantes et a augmenter la resilience des menages. Suite a la crise economique mondiale, un nombre croissant de decideurs politiques africains en sont venus a considerer les filets sociaux comme des instruments cles de reduction de la pauvrete et de gestion des risques. L'elan vers la rationalisation de la depense publique a travers l'utilisation de methodes plus appropriees de ciblage des menages pauvres et vulnerables s'accentue. Reduire la pauvrete et investir dans le capital humain : le nouveau role des filets sociaux en Afrique examine les objectifs, les caracteristiques, la performance et le financement des filets sociaux mis en oeuvre dans 22 pays d'Afrique subsaharienne et identifie les moyens qui permettront aux differents gouvernements et partenaires techniques et financiers de renforcer les systemes de filets sociaux afin que ces derniers puissent mieux soutenir les populations pauvres et vulnerables. De facon generale, les auteurs ont constate que les filets sociaux etaient de plus en plus populaires en Afrique et que la transformation des programmes d'aide alimentaire d'urgence en filets sociaux reguliers et previsibles s'intensifiait, notamment sous forme de programmes de transferts monetaires cibles et d'interventions d'argent contre travail. Certains pays africains, principalement le Kenya, le Rwanda et la Tanzanie procedent actuellement a l'unification de leurs programmes au sein d'un systeme national. Grace a la disponibilite d'analyses actualisees des filets sociaux d'Afrique, des resultats encourageants tires des evaluations d'impact et des possibilites productives offertes par les programmes de transferts monetaires dans les pays africains, les decideurs considerent maintenant, dans leurs echeanciers de developpement, les filets sociaux comme des instruments prioritaires et efficaces de reduction de la pauvrete et de la vulnerabilite

    Abstract: South Africa's economic growth and development agenda and to present a harmonized approach for investing in priority areas for human capital formation. The policy note first presents an in-depth diagnostic of the status of human capital in the country, applying a life cycle approach. The life cycle approach places a strong emphasis on investing in human capital development holistically, involving all relevant sectors, and as a continuum, following the trajectory of an individual's life. Focus is given to three critical stages of an individual's life, (i) early childhood; (ii) school age; and (iii) youth to adulthood. Based on the findings of the analysis, the policy note identifies the priority challenges and proposes a framework for action. The findings of this policy note aim to serve as a basis for a much-needed dialogue across key relevant government entities, including sector departments such as the Department of Health, the Department of Basic Education, the Department of Higher Education and Training, Department of Social Development, and others, such as National Treasury, Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, the Office of the Presidency as well as provincial government departments, on how best to invest in human capital, both in the short and medium-to-long term. The note could also be used to inform a range of stakeholders, including civil society, development partners, and the private sector of the human capital development challenges in South Africa and how certain gaps could be addressed through better coordination of interventions. Lastly, the note aims to motivate further research on key areas where there are information and knowledge gaps on human capital in South Africa
