Different policy stances on SP often relate closely to understanding of where its boundaries should be set. At
its broadest, SP can be seen as a dimension of all social policy or development interventions. Many see all ‘social’ services (for instance health, education, water supply), or all ‘community-driven development’ (exemplified by World Bank-supported Social Funds) as part of the prevention, if not actually the mitigation, of risk.
