Impacts of social protection programmes on child outcomes in Africa. Presentation given during the African Union Expert Consultation on Children and Social Protection Systems in Africa, 30 April 2014, Cape Town.
1) An unconditional cash transfer program in Ghana called LEAP increased school enrollment and attendance, particularly for older boys and children with lower cognitive ability.
2) The program led parents to increase spending on school supplies and fees, loosening constraints on education costs.
3) The results suggest cash transfers can have heterogeneous impacts and that parents respond to increased resources by supporting schooling for children who may need it most, even without conditions requiring it.

Can unconditional cash transfers lead to sustainable poverty reduction?Michelle Mills
This document summarizes evidence from evaluations of two unconditional cash transfer programs in Zambia called the Child Grant Program (CGP) and the Multiple Category Targeting Program (MCP). The evaluations found:
1) Both programs led to increases in consumption, food security, asset ownership, income, and reductions in poverty and debt.
2) Impacts were found across various domains of well-being and were sustained over time, suggesting cash transfers can reduce poverty in a sustainable way.
3) The effects were similar for different types of households, showing the programs' benefits extended broadly.
Ability of Household Food Insecurity Measures to Capture Vulnerability & Resi...TransferProjct
This document discusses a study that examines the ability of different household food insecurity measures to capture vulnerability and resilience. It presents results from a cash transfer program in Zimbabwe. The study finds that while food insecurity scores improved from 2013 to 2014 for both treatment and comparison groups, the improvement was greater for the treatment group that received cash transfers. This suggests cash transfers helped increase food security and resilience. The study also finds that different food insecurity measures like expenditures, diet diversity scores, and experience-based scales provide varying but complementary perspectives on household food security.
This document summarizes the life-cycle approach to addressing HIV. It discusses progress and challenges in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV and treating children living with HIV. It also examines new HIV infections and interventions among young people, key populations, and people at different stages of life. Charts and data from countries worldwide are presented on topics like HIV testing, condom use, treatment coverage, and criminalization status.
The data in this slide pack is from the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP).
The NCMP is an annual programme that measures the height and weight of children in Reception (aged 4 to 5 years) and Year 6 (aged 10 to 11 years) in England. Although the NCMP only covers certain age groups, it includes the majority of children in those year groups.

This document summarizes the Alkire Foster methodology for measuring multidimensional poverty. It discusses:
1. Selecting indicators, cutoffs, and weights to measure multiple deprivations.
2. Building a deprivation score for each person by counting the weighted deprivations they experience.
3. Identifying people who are multidimensionally poor based on crossing a threshold of weighted deprivations.
4. Aggregating the results to determine the incidence (headcount ratio) and intensity of poverty in a population. The Multidimensional Poverty Index is the product of these two measures.
A Bold Endgame_Ending Preventable Maternal Deaths Worldwide by 2035_Mary Elle...CORE Group
This document discusses strategies for ending preventable maternal deaths worldwide by 2035. It notes that over half of all maternal deaths occur in just eight countries, with India and Nigeria accounting for over 30%. Reducing maternal mortality will require focusing on high-burden populations and implementing high-impact practices like family planning, skilled birth attendance, and treatment for conditions that increase mortality risk such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and malnutrition. Achieving the target will also depend on strengthening health systems, promoting respectful care, and addressing contextual challenges in different regions. With targeted strategies and increased accountability, it may be possible to accelerate progress and end preventable maternal deaths globally by 2035.

How the eldery benefit from social cash transfers in AfricaMichelle Mills
Cash transfer programs in sub-Saharan Africa have expanded significantly since 2004 and now reach over 45 million recipients across the region. The Transfer Project is a research initiative that studies the impact of these social cash transfer programs in 10 countries. The presentation summarizes evidence from impact evaluations showing that cash transfers improve food security and health outcomes for elderly recipients. Cash allows elderly recipients to meet basic needs and reduces their reliance on others for support.

The presentation summarizes evidence from impact evaluations showing that cash transfers improve food security and health outcomes for elderly recipients. Cash allows elderly recipients to meet basic needs and reduces their reliance on others for support.
This document summarizes the results of social protection programs in Africa that aim to reduce poverty through cash transfers. It finds that:
1) Government-run non-contributory cash transfer programs in Africa have tripled over the last 15 years, though overall coverage of social protection remains low.
2) Evaluations of cash transfer programs in 10 African countries find they significantly reduce poverty, improve food security and nutrition, increase spending on education and healthcare, and boost asset accumulation.
3) Cash transfers are found to have multiplier effects, stimulating broader economic activity at household and community levels without increasing inflation.
This document discusses enhancing engagement between PEPFAR and faith-based organizations and faith communities to help control the HIV epidemic. It notes that faith communities have significant influence and reach in sub-Saharan Africa, with high levels of worship attendance. PEPFAR and faith policies align in some areas like promoting HIV testing, treatment, prevention of gender-based violence, and male engagement. The document argues that faith-based organizations need to be optimally utilized to diagnose and treat well children and young adults with HIV, and that their engagement is essential to addressing the key gaps in controlling the epidemic.
The document summarizes research on the impacts of cash transfer programs on gender dynamics. It finds that:
1) Cash transfer programs in sub-Saharan Africa often target women to achieve outcomes like improved child well-being, though evidence supporting this approach is mixed.
2) Evaluations of cash transfers' impacts on women's empowerment also show mixed results, depending on the indicators and contexts studied.
3) A study in Zambia found its Child Grant Program increased women's decision-making power modestly and their ability to save and engage in small businesses significantly, suggesting it had a subtle empowering effect.
TenthTransferProjectGatheringAccomplishmentsAndALookAhead.p ptxThe Transfer Project
This document provides an overview and summary of the 10th Transfer Project Gathering. It discusses the accomplishments of the Transfer Project in generating evidence on cash transfer programs in Africa. It notes that the Transfer Project has compiled the largest evidence base on cash transfers of any world region. It also highlights some of the key findings from evaluations, including impacts on productive activities, spillover effects in local communities, and longer term impacts on youth. The document looks ahead to future research priorities, such as evaluating programs at scale, addressing targeting and graduation, crisis response, and generating evidence in fragile settings.
The document summarizes evidence from cash transfer programs in sub-Saharan Africa evaluated by the Transfer Project. It finds that:
1) Large-scale government cash transfer programs significantly reduced poverty, improved food security and expenditures, increased human capital through education and health impacts, and increased resilience through productive investments.
2) The programs had broader community impacts such as not increasing inflation and benefiting local economies.
3) Cash transfers were found to be an affordable intervention for governments in sub-Saharan Africa, costing on average 1.1% of GDP.

This document discusses child marriage in Africa and economic empowerment strategies. It begins by introducing World Vision's goals to end intergenerational poverty cycles through livelihood programs. It then discusses how poverty is a key driver of child marriage in Africa, with over 50% of girls married before 18. Case studies from Mozambique and Uganda show how savings groups, skills training, and social support can empower families and act as "distractions" from child marriage, though more research is still needed. The document concludes by recommending investments in long-term livelihoods, social protection for children, and women's economic empowerment to break cycles of poverty and end child marriage.
Benjamin Davis: The impact of social cash transfers on labour market outcomes...UNDP Policy Centre
This presentation is part of the programme of the International Seminar "Social Protection, Entrepreneurship and Labour Market Activation: Evidence for Better Policies", organized by the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG/UNDP) together with Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Colombian Think Tank Fedesarrollo held on September 10-11 at the Ipea Auditorium in Brasilia.
The document summarizes findings from phone surveys conducted in 7 countries in Africa and Asia on the gendered impacts of COVID-19. Key findings include:
- Both men and women reported losing income, but women generally reported greater challenges accessing food. A majority of women in most countries worried about having enough food.
- People used various coping strategies like savings, borrowing, selling assets, and transfers, with trends varying by country. Savings declined over time while selling assets and borrowing increased.
- Access to water and sanitation was inadequate in some countries, hindering the ability to prevent COVID spread.
- The long-term impacts of loss of income, assets, and savings could be severe and require policy interventions like credit

Putting Children First: Session 2.1.A Winnie Sambu - Child poverty and hunger...The Impact Initiative
This document summarizes child poverty and hunger in South Africa. Over 18 million children live in the country, with 62% living below the upper poverty line and 13% suffering from hunger. Two-thirds of food poor children live in three provinces - KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo. Stunting rates remain high and dietary diversity is low, especially among low-income households. While surveys collect some nutrition data, gaps exist in regular collection of dietary intake and anthropometric measurements at local levels. Expanding social grants and providing nutritional support for mothers could help address these issues.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
