Innocenti Working Papers Cash for Women’s Empowerment? A Mixed-Methods Evaluation of the Government of Zambia’s Child Grant Programme AUTHOR(S) Juan Bonilla; Rosa Castro Zarzur; Sudhanshu Handa; Claire Nowlin; Amber Peterman; Hannah Ring; David Seidenfeld Published: 2016 Innocenti Working Papers This paper reports findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of the Government of Zambia’s Child Grant Programme, a poverty-targeted, unconditional transfer given to mothers or primary caregivers of young children aged 0 to 5. Qualitatively, we found that changes in intrahousehold relationships were limited by entrenched gender norms, which indicate men as heads of household and primary decision-makers. However, women’s narratives showed the transfer did increase overall household well-being because they felt increased financial empowerment and were able to retain control over transfers for household investment and savings for emergencies. The study found that women in beneficiary households were making more sole and joint decisions, although impacts translated into relatively modest increases. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 34 | Thematic area: Social Policies | Tags: cash transfers, decision making, household income, women's empowerment × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Juan Bonilla; Rosa Castro Zarzur; Sudhanshu Handa; Claire Nowlin; Amber Peterman; Hannah Ring; David Seidenfeld 2016 Cash for Women’s Empowerment?

Methodological Briefs Evaluative Reasoning: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 4 AUTHOR(S) E. Jane Davidson Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs Decision makers frequently need evaluation to help them work out what to do to build on strengths and address weaknesses. To do so, they must know not only what the strengths and weaknesses are, but also which are the most important or serious, and how well or poorly the programme or policy is performing on them. Evaluative reasoning is the process of synthesizing the answers to lower- and mid-level evaluation questions into defensible judgements that directly answer the key evaluation questions. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 18 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: decision making, evaluation, research, research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION E.
