“…Support types of ISP as well as horizontal inequalities as discussed in the preceding sections are reflected in the conceptualization and associated data collection of this study. First, and as described in more detail in section “Inequalities And ISP In Namibia”, practices of support were understood through welfarist rationales as reflected in studies on ISP (e.g., see Oduro, 2010; Devereux, 1999; Calder & Tanhchareun, 2014). Second, these practices were then observed as activities that took place in individuals life and thus what took place rather than, i.e., what one would typically do which rather captures preferences than actual behaviour.…”

“…ISP has been recognised as an important source of livelihood support in the global South (Bevan, 2004; Oduro, 2010; Wood, 2004; Wood & Gough, 2006). Yet, this literature is rarely brought into dialogue with transformative approaches to formal social protection.…”

“…In general, the narrative of Case 1 resembles the rationales of ISP which largely focuses on transfers made in connection with individuals' economic welfare, livelihoods and poverty reduction (Devereux, 1999; Oduro, 2010; Werger, 2009). Yet, the person described in Case 1 is not one that would be typically included in studies on ISP as he is likely to be classified as non‐poor with a stable monthly income and a tertiary degree while living in an urban environment.…”

“…As informal social protection (ISP) provides important sources of livelihood support in contexts of the global South (Bevan, 2004; Oduro, 2010; Wood, 2004; Wood & Gough, 2006), it is important to understand how such practices are embedded in a society at large. This is pertinent as these forms of support, often rooted within kinship, community or family, do not follow formalised scripts but are part of social relationships that can exhibit different kinds of meanings and values.…”

Informal social protection (ISP) has been recognised as a source of livelihood support for the poor and a critical element of the welfare mix in the global South. While the potential of ISP in contributing to economic welfare is well‐documented, less is known about its role in responding to and maintaining horizontal inequalities. Group‐based inequality is a key concern of transformative social protection, particularly discriminatory practices and exclusion that shape them. By using a mixed‐method approach to social networks, and including non‐poor and poor individuals, I provide insights into how support practices differ across race and education in urban Namibia thereby reflecting continued economic inequalities. I argue that ISP plays an important role in understanding transformative approaches to social protection; both by highlighting the importance of exploring ISP beyond a conceptual lens on poverty as well as its potential in maintaining power imbalances in a stratified, unequal society.
