In this paper, it is attempted to explore the applicability of social policy mechanisms in Africa with especial emphasis to the role of social policy in reducing poverty. In other words, it is argued that social policy is affordable in even lower-income economies like Sub-Saharan Africa by presenting the mechanisms that could be employed in levying the finance needed for sustainable social policy. In this regard, the potential revenue sources like taxation, aid, remittance are discussed. From a theoretical perspective, social policy is taken within its wider context of production, redistribution, protection, reproduction, social cohesion or nation-building. Thus, in the paper social security measures, as part of social policy, are not presented as a sufficient tool in reducing poverty. Other aspects of social policy like reducing inequality and promoting social justice are also given importance.
