Supporting Evidence-based Policy Making in sub-Saharan Africa through the Transfer Project
Summary
The Transfer Project is a regional research initiative led by UNICEF, the University of North Carolina and the FAO to generate evidence on impacts of national cash transfer programs in sub-Saharan Africa, and to translate that evidence into policy through partnerships with national governments. During 2018-2020, the Transfer Project will increase the capacity of African-based researchers to conduct impact evaluations, and engage with African academics and policy-makers to identify knowledge gaps in social protection to ensure that evidence is generated that can be used by policy-makers in their decision-making process.
