Tax carbon cautiously for sub-Saharan Africa
The Impact of Shock-Responsive Social Cash Transfers
This study examines the effects of a nationwide shock-responsive social cash transfer scheme during an aggregate shock, with a focus on highly risk susceptible informal sector households in Kenya. Leveraging primary in-person survey data in a doubly robust difference-in-differences framework, we find that households receiving shock-responsive cash transfers were less likely to encounter income loss, poverty, and food scarcity compared to househol…
Cash transfers amid shocks
Cash, Covid-19 and aid cuts
OBJECTIVES: In this paper, we estimate the impact after 4-8 months of a large one-off unconditional cash transfer delivered to refugees during a time of dual shocks: the COVID-19 pandemic and cuts to monthly aid. We focus on four key outcomes: (1) health-seeking behaviour; (2) COVID-19 specific preventive health practices; (3) food security and (4) psychological well-being. METHODS: We use both quantitative and qualitative data to understand the …
Impact of conditional cash transfers on enrolment in community-based health insurance among female-headed households in south Gondar zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia
Ethiopia has been implementing its flagship social protection programme, Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), since 2005, mainly in drought prone and chronically food insecure woredas. In 2011, the country also launched Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI). However, the two large-scale social protection programmes are not integrated well. This study examines the impact of participation in the conditional cash transfer (CCT) component of the…
Determinants of uptake and strategies to improve agricultural insurance in Africa
Weather shocks affect smallholder farmers and pastoralists in Sub-Saharan Africa unequally. Agricultural insurance has emerged as a safety net option to protect farmers’ welfare. However, in comparison to other regions, fewer African farmers and pastoralists have adopted agricultural insurance. This review synthesises broad recent literature on why insurance take-up has remained low and highlights six key themes, including: (1) product quality, (…
Religiosity and parental educational aspirations for children in Kenya
Poor households make little investments in human capital, despite the potential benefits and are hence trapped in poverty. To overcome this poverty trap, households can invest more in children’s education as such investments reflect hopes and aspirations to break the intergenerational poverty chain. In this study, we examine the relationship between religiosity and parental educational aspirations for their children in rural Kenya. We study relig…
