This study reviews the development effectiveness of social fund projects and considers the implications for their future support by the World Bank. It finds that the performance of such projects has improved over time in many respects. However, although they have been highly effective in delivering small-scale infrastructure, they have been less successful in achieving consistent improvements in outcomes and welfare impacts. The report recommends greater transparency and selectivity in the use of this policy instrument.

The discretionary Social Fund, which comprises Community Care Grants, Budgeting Loans and Crisis Loans, was set up to help people on a low income meet one-off expenses on necessities and cope with emergencies. The report draws on a 'state of the art' assessment of the Social Fund combining original quantitative and qualitative research and involving users of the Social Fund and other members of the public to come up with ideas about how to improve it. The book is divided into two parts: The first examines the current role of the Social Fund and is based on focus groups with eligible applicants and non-applicants. It outlines how people cope with living on a low income and experience of Social Fund applications. Analysis of national survey data is used to investigate the characteristics associated with the receipt of Social Fund awards and repayment of loans. The second part of the report considers the future direction of the Social Fund. The report draws on existing recommendations for reform and new qualitative research to propose both immediate changes to the current scheme and a more radical redesign. Focus groups and a workshop with recipients and members of the public identified what needs or life-events should be met through Government support. Suggestions for a radical reform of the Fund, including five new awards, are put forward and costed.

In 2008 the Social Fund had been in operation for 20 years. This has provided a timely opportunity to not only critically reflect upon its introduction in 1988 and its operation in the past two decades, but also to place it within its historical context. There is a particular need to engage with the argument that was made in the 1980s that relieving need by way of loan was new in social security policy. In this groundbreaking study, Chris Grover provides the reader with evidence that this is not the case by locating Social Fund loans in a lengthy history of debate about, and practice in, loaning poor relief and social security. Using primary data hitherto unused in social policy research, Grover shows that there is a long history embedded in British systems of poor relief of authorities having the power to loan applicants either cash that had to be repaid or providing food and items, the value of which then had to be repaid. Understanding this history will give a greater depth to our understanding of the state's purposes in relieving the financial needs of the poorest people as well as to our knowledge of contemporary social security policy.

Annotation World Bank Discussion Paper No. 375.Social funds have proved to be important instruments for reaching the poor using community-based strategies. Yet, while there have been innovations in the design of these funds, the projects are much less participatory and demand-oriented than is commonly believed. This paper examines the extent to which social fund subprojects are designed to support community participation, demand orientation, and investment in local organizational capacity to achieve sustainability at the community level.

The European Social Fund has often been overshadowed by more visible European Union social and economic policies. It is, however, integral to the construction and development of the EU and has played a central role in the impact of the EU on individual member states.Based upon a study of the ESF and a range of social policy documents from the Treaty of Rome to the Treaty of Amsterdam, this analysis examines the connections between the ESF and other areas of EU policy. The European Social Fund and the EU will be of particular use to anyone interested in social and economic regeneration across the European Union.
