Book (stand-alone)From evidence to action: The story of cash transfers and impact evaluation in sub-Saharan Africa 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Cash transfers have become a key social protection tool in developing countries and have expanded dramatically in the last two decades. However, the impacts of cash transfers programmes, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, have not been substantially documented. This book presents a detailed overview of the impact evaluations of these programmes, carried out by the Transfer Project and FAO’s From Protection to Production project. The 14 chapters include a review of eight country case studies: Keny a, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, as well as a description of the innovative research methodologies, political economy issues and good practices to design cash transfer programmes. The key objective of the book is to enhance the understanding of these development programmes, how they lead to a broad range of social and productive impacts and also of the role of programme evaluation in the process of developing policies and implementing programmes. -

BookletNUUS: Field Stories from Africa
Youth Edition
2019Also available in:
No results found.In the race to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and attain the aspirations of the Agenda 2063 and the 2025 Malabo Goals of the African Union, young men and women are the key drivers in our combined efforts to reach the finish line on time. The 2014 AU Malabo Summit reconfirmed that agricultural transformation should remain high on the development agenda of the continent, emphasizing its instrumentality for an inclusive growth. The youth play important roles in promoting economic growth and shared prosperity in their communities and countries. Their energy, resourcefulness and optimism are powerful catalysts for them to be important contributors of change and development. Yet, there are a number of challenges to be met in order for them to play these roles and realize their potentials. This maiden issue of NUUS, Field Stories from Africa, highlights some of the stories on youth’s successes and their ability to navigate fluidly through challenges. These narratives come from across the region, and they are powerful testimonies of what great ideas and hard work can accomplish.
