Valeria Groppo's presentation for UNU WIDER's seminar series on 20 January 2021. The presentation explores "Conditional cash transfers, child work and schooling: mixed methods evidence from the United Republic of Tanzania".
In order to support country governments with informed programming for children at sub national level, UNICEF Kenya came up with unique way of representing data dealing with Child Rights – Child Deprivation Index and County Infographics for all 47 counties. The child deprivation index is an innovative way of measuring multi-dimensional poverty and rights deprivation for children by county. The child deprivation index and other data at county level were collated and used to generate county data sheets and infographics which were then presented to county governments. The Infographics present national and county indicators in thematic areas including demographics, education, water and sanitation, maternal and child health and HIV, nutrition and child protection.
Index of child deprivation developed based on 13 indicators in domains of health, education, and material wellbeing. Counties are ranked according to their level of deprivation, and their contribution to national child deprivation.

The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) is the local version of the Home-Grown School
Feeding Programme (HGSP) that has a mandate to give one hot meal a day to school children in public schools
from kindergarten through to primary six. Launched in 2005 the programme has the goal of contributing to
poverty reduction and increased food security in Ghana. One of the key objectives of the programme is to
boost domestic food production by purchasing locally produce foodstuffs and providing a sustainable market
for local food producers in the community. To analyse the effect of the programme on rice production in four
districts in the Northern Region of Ghana, a formal cross section survey of 80 small holder rice farmers and 40
GSFP caterers, across the four districts was conducted. The translog production function was applied to
analyse the programme‟s effect on rice output while the probit model was used to analyse the factors
influencing rice farmers to supply to the programme on one hand and the factors affecting caterer‟s decision to
purchase rice from the rice farmers on the other. The results from the analysis of the production function shows
that the coefficients of farm labour, farm size, and fertilizer application were highly significant in increasing
farmers‟ output. While access to the GSFP had a positive influence on output it was statistically insignificant.
The results also show that majority of GSFP caterers buy rice from local millers and the market. The factors
which had significant influence on the caterers to buy from the rice farmer include availability of storage
facility, farmer‟s willingness to process the paddy rice and sell on credit, price of milled rice, and proximity of
rice farmers. The major conclusion of the study is that the effect of the programme on rice farmers output was
not significant. This was attributed to poor linkage between the farmers and the programme even though about
100 percent of rice consumed by the GSFP is produced locally

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Food for thought
• Importance of:
• Local context / initial conditions
• Level of transfer / regularity
• Targeting / (Primary) objectives
• Program duration
• Lack of data on broader child wellbeing indicators
• Need for long-term impact evaluations
