Exploring pathways to adherence and retention for HIV-positive savings group members in Ethiopia
Savings groups are an economic strengthening intervention used to enhance the well-being of vulnerable groups. However, it is unclear how savings groups influence treatment outcomes for people living with HIV. This article reports on a study that conducted 48 in-depth interviews with HIV-positive savings group members in Ethiopia and used their narratives to qualitatively assess pathways linking savings group participation to adherence, retention…
Highly vulnerable children
Millions of Ethiopian children live in poverty. About two out of three attend primary school, while fewer than one in five attend secondary, and two in five are married by the age of 18. To ameliorate these conditions, voluntary savings and loan groups (SG) are implemented to facilitate the wellbeing and livelihoods of caregivers and the vulnerable children in their care. Yet evidence of caregiver SG participation on child wellbeing does not adeq…
Pathways
Children in Ethiopia are faced with crippling economic conditions aggravated by lack of access to basic services. Household economic strengthening initiatives, such as savings groups (SG), seek to enable poor households to improve their livelihoods and mitigate vulnerability. This study unpacks the mechanisms between SG participation by caregivers of highly vulnerable children and children’s wellbeing with a focus on education, nutrition, health,…
A case for integrated development
Economic strengthening interventions may increase income, assets, and food security. Donors and implementers see the potential for improvements in child well-being. This article presents lessons learnt from the implementation of two economic strengthening interventions. It finds missed opportunities with regard to child nutrition, and recommends: (1) integrating economic strengthening interventions with complementary development activities; (2) d…
How formative research can improve the effects of household economic strengthening programs for children
Household economic strengthening (HES) programs should increase the welfare of households and children so as to decrease cyclical poverty. Yet research shows that HES programs with positive household outcomes often fail to produce corresponding improvements in children’s lives. In-depth interviews (IDIs) with 96 households who were part of a HES program in Liberia provide a window into intra-household decision-making affecting children’s health a…
Impact of an Agricultural Value Chain Project on Smallholder Farmers, Households, and Children in Liberia
Can village savings and loan groups be a potential tool in the malnutrition fight? Mixed method findings from Mozambique
Child malnutrition is a pervasive problem in sub-Saharan Africa that affects individual and national development. This article examines the impact of participation in village savings and loan (VSL) groups, alone and in combination with a rotating labor scheme called Ajuda Mútua (AM), on household and child nutritional outcomes in Nampula Province in Mozambique. It combines findings from an impact evaluation and a qualitative exploration of the dy…
