UNIVERSALIZING SOCIOECONOMIC SECURITY FOR THE POOR
10½ weeks Postgraduate Diploma Programme or: 5½-weeks Certificate Course
Institute of Social Studies, The Hague
12 January ? 25 March 2011
The course, Universalizing Socioeconomic Security for the Poor (USS) imparts knowledge and skill-enhancing
training on issues relating to the universalization of socioeconomic security for the poor and socially excluded. USS
explores the concept of socioeconomic insecurity and its causes, as well as different approaches and options
for intervention, such as social protection, and rights approaches to social security, using a diverse range of cases
and the student's own experiences as illustrations. Students link theory and practice by applying what they learn
to the challenges they face in their own work.
USS students have 3 study options: Option 1: The first 5½ weeks as a certificate course. Option 2: A 10½ week
diploma course, which includes a 5-week study visit to India to gain field exposure to two different approaches to
the universalization of socioeconomic security: the movement-led approach of the Self Employed Women's
Association (SEWA) in Gujarat and the state-led approach pursued in Kerala. This programme is offered in
collaboration with SEWA and the Centre for Development Studies (CDS) in Kerala. Option 3: A 10½ week diploma
entirely at ISS where, in the second part of the programme, students continue studying on an aspect of socioeconomic
security of particular relevance to their work.
Target Group: USS is geared to early and mid-career development practitioners and activists in NGOs, researchers,
international development organizations and government agencies involved in social provision and protection and
poverty alleviation.
Fellowships: Each year a limited number of fellowships are available for this programme from the Netherlands
Fellowship Programme (NFP). The deadline to apply for the 2011 NFP programme is 1st September 2010.
