Book (stand-alone)Gender differences in child investment behaviour among agricultural households: Evidence from the Lesotho Child Grants Programme 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The report examines the impacts of an unconditional cash transfer in Lesotho, the Child Grants Programme, aimed at enhancing children’s nutrition and schooling. Using an experimental impact evaluation design, the analysis looks specifically at gender-differentiated impacts in children’s school participation and time use among agricultural households two years after the start of the programme. In addition, the paper tests whether household structure and gender of the designated cash recipient inf luences the programme’s impact on child welfare. -

Book (stand-alone)Lesotho Child Grant Programme and Linking Food Security to Social Protection Programme
A From Protection to Production report
2015Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents findings from an impact evaluation of a combination of two types of agricultural and social protection programmes: the Lesotho Child Grant Programme (CGP) and the FAO-Lesotho Linking Food Security to Social Protection Programme (LFSSP). Overall we find positive effects of the programmes on homestead gardening and productive agricultural activities. Many of these observed outcomes appear driven by the combination of the two programmes. An additional year of CGP along with on e year of the LFSSP achieved a number of outcomes which two years of receiving the CGP alone did not, and impact varies in relation to household labour constraints. The LFSSP appears to have assisted households facing labour constraints in homestead gardening activities. For labour non-constrained families, an additional year of CGP plus the LFSSP allowed for greater investments in more substantial productive items, perhaps with intentions of scaling up agricultural operations. While it is natural to interpret findings from this report in the context of the larger scale CGP impact evaluation (Daidone et al. 2014) – and many similar findings emerge – it is important to recognize that only a subset of communities included in the overall CGP evaluation are considered here. The purpose of this paper is not to replicate the evaluation of the CGP, but rather understand how additional CGP benefits, combined with the LFSSP, affected livelihoods in two specific community councils in rural Lesotho.
