  5. The impact of cash transfers on nutrition in emergency and transitional contexts

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 31 January 2012
    HPG Commissioned Reports
    Sarah Bailey and Kerren Hedlund
    Cash transfer programming is now widely accepted as a way to meet a variety of needs in humanitarian and transitional settings. Although the literature on cash transfers has grown exponentially over the last few years, as has their use in humanitarian interventions, the relationship between cash transfer interventions in crisis contexts and malnutrition has received little attention. This is surprising given that many cash transfers have nutritional objectives, such as improving access to an adequate quantity and quality of food. Nutrition, food security and health actors all could consider cash transfers as a way of addressing the multiple causes of malnutrition. The purpose of this paper is to explore evidence on the nutritional impact of cash transfers in emergency and transitional settings. It has been commissioned by the German government (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development BMZ) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

  9. NP71 - System failure? Revisiting the problems of timely response to crises in the Horn of Africa

    System failure? Revisiting the problems of timely response to crises in the Horn of Africa

    Publication - Discussion papers - 30 November 2011
    HPN Network Papers 72
    Simon Levine, Alexandra Crosskey and Mohammed Abdinoor
    Humanitarian response in pastoral areas in the Horn of Africa has consistently been late. An enormous investment in early warning over a number of years has brought great improvements: mass human fatalities have become rarer in the past 25 years. Our response has not kept up with this ambition. This Network Paper examines how one project tried to ask the same questions again, its successes and failures and its attempt at a fresh explanation of the fact that so many apparently simple problems have proved so intractable.
