Impacts of Cash Transfers on Preventing Malnutrition in Yemen

Co-Organized by IFPRI and the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM)

DC

1201 Eye Street NW

12th Floor Conference Center

Washington, United States

September 5, 2019

  • 12:15 – 1:45 pm (America/New_York)
  • 6:15 – 7:45 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 9:45 – 11:15 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

An impact evaluation of Yemen’s Cash for Nutrition program provides new evidence of the benefits of “cash plus” transfer programs to meet nutritional needs in conflict situations—a context in which rigorous evidence is scarce.

This event will review the findings on the combination of cash transfers with nutritional education provided by the Yemen Social Fund for Development and its positive impacts on key measures of child and maternal nutrition.
