Book (stand-alone)Institutional assessment of the Child Grants Programme and Sustainable Poverty Reduction through Income, Nutrition, and Access to Government Services pilot project in Lesotho 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents analysis and findings from an institutional assessment conducted during March - September 2019 of the Lesotho Child Grants Programme (CGP), a national social protection programme supporting poor households with children 0-18 years, and the Sustainable Poverty Reduction through Income, Nutrition and Access to Government services (SPRINGS) pilot project. The main objective of this study is to understand the institutional architecture and processes of the two programmes and identify those that facilitated or hindered coordination between the social protection and productive dimensions of development interventions seeking to address rural poverty, hunger and food insecurity. The study is part of a larger project - a partnership between FAO, IFAD and the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) and its Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Económico (CEDE) - that seeks to identify factors that lead to better articulation between social protection interventions and rural productive inclusion strategies. Growing evidence has shown that complementarity between these interventions and greater coherence between social protection and rural development policies can lead to synergies by strategically addressing constraints faced by poor rural households. -

No results found.This impact evaluation adopts a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods to the analysis of the impact of CGP and SPRINGS. Qualitative and quantitative methods have complementary roles. The quantitative method allows to quantify the size of the impacts on a large set of outcomes. The qualitative method allows to capture contextual and subjective meanings of social and economic phenomena. It complements quantitative research by broadening the understanding of impacts on different actors and capturing the types and complexity of processes leading to decisions and impacts. We investigated the impact of the programmes on three key areas of inquiry, following the main goals of the programmes, namely increase in income and economic security through productive activities and market engagement; financial inclusion and greater willingness to take risk; improvement of dietary practices and nutrition for adults and children.
