During the last two decades, several developing countries governments began to introduce or enlarge social protection instruments, often incorporating ideas promoted by international actors. Some Brazilian policies have gained prominence in this context and they have been disseminated and transferred to other Southern countries.

To operate the analysis, two instruments of Fome Zero Strategy, namely, conditional cash transfer and local public procurement, are presented.
