Social protection approaches – in particular conditional cash transfer programmes (CCTs) – provide popular tools to improve health and educational outcomes for children across the developing world, and are increasingly being piloted to address challenges of safe motherhood. Opinions abound as to the effectiveness of CCTs and their capacity for long-term social transformation is rightly up for discussion. To mark International Women’s Day, ODI is bringing together a panel of scholars and practitioners to explore the social protection innovations increasingly being employed to tackle maternal ill-health, and to consider how to take such interventions to scale.

With the prospect of a double-dip recession hot on the heels of the 2008/9 financial crisis, this public meeting draws on a recent theme issue of Development Policy Review to consider the implications of economic shocks on child well-being. The event will explore how children fare in times of economic crisis, how policy can mediate such shocks, and what lessons can be learnt from the past to enable both resilience and preparedness for future economic crises. Free copies of the DPR theme issue ‘Impacts of economic crises on child well-being’ will be available at the event.
