Innocenti Research Briefs Improving Children’s Health and Nutrition Outcomes in Ethiopia: Qualitative midline evaluation of the ISNP in Amhara AUTHOR(S) Maja Gavrilovic; Erin Cullen; Essa Chanie Mussa; Frank Otchere; Tia Palermo; Sarah Quinones; Vincenzo Vinci Published: 2022 Innocenti Research Briefs Integrated social protection programmes are increasingly being pursued as more effective and efficient ways to improve children’s health and nutrition outcomes. UNICEF Ethiopia is implementing a pilot Integrated Safety Net Programme (ISNP) in the Amhara region of Ethiopia aimed at integrating a cash transfer (through the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP)), a health insurance (the Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI)), social and behaviour change communication (on nutrition, feeding practices, sexual and reproductive health, gender equality, and child marriage), and case management (for malnourished and out of school children). The ISNP implementation began in early 2019. Knowing that integration comes with its own challenges in terms of planning, coordination, harmonization of systems and tools, and the alignment of budgets, this qualitative study sought to understand the status of implementation, emerging challenges, and potential remedial actions to ensure the intervention achieves the stated objectives. The study shows that while there is progress, more action is needed in terms of implementing the planned management information system (MIS), ensuring adequate and well trained frontline workers are in place, further improving harmonization of targeting tools, and increasing budgetary allocation. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 4 | Thematic area: Social protection | Tags: behavioural change, cash transfers, child health, child marriage, child nutrition, reproductive health, social protection × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Maja Gavrilovic; Erin Cullen; Essa Chanie Mussa; Frank Otchere; Tia Palermo; Sarah Quinones; Vincenzo Vinci 2022 Improving Children’s Health and Nutrition Outcomes in Ethiopia: Qualitative midline evaluation of the ISNP in Amhara. , pp. 4.

Innocenti Research Briefs Augmenter la Représentation des Femmes Dans la Direction des Écoles: Une voie prometteuse pour améliorer l’apprentissage AUTHOR(S) Jessica Bergmann; Maria Carolina Alban Conto; Mathieu Brossard Published: 2022 Innocenti Research Briefs De nouvelles études montrent une association positive entre les femmes dirigeantes d'école et les résultats des élèves. Certaines études suggèrent que les femmes dirigeantes scolaires sont plus susceptibles que leurs homologues masculins d'adopter des pratiques de gestion efficaces pouvant contribuer à l'amélioration des résultats. Cependant, les femmes restent largement sous-représentées aux postes de direction des écoles, en particulier dans les pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire.Cette publication présente de nouvelles connaissances sur l'association entre les femmes dirigeantes d'école et les résultats scolaires, et attire l'attention sur la sous-représentation des femmes dans les postes de direction d'école. Elle souligne la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches sur le genre et la direction des écoles afin d'identifier les politiques et les pratiques qui peuvent être mises en œuvre pour augmenter la représentation des femmes et étendre les pratiques de gestion de haute qualité adoptées par les femmes dirigeantes à un plus grand nombre d'écoles afin d'améliorer les résultats scolaires de tous les enfants. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 11 | Thematic area: Education, Gender Issues | Tags: education, gender issues, gender roles, learning, primary education, primary schools, secondary education, secondary schools, teachers × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Jessica Bergmann; Maria Carolina Alban Conto; Mathieu Brossard 2022 Augmenter la Représentation des Femmes Dans la Direction des Écoles: Une voie prometteuse pour améliorer l’apprentissage. , pp. 11.
Innocenti Research Briefs Increasing Women’s Representation in School Leadership: A promising path towards improving learning AUTHOR(S) Jessica Bergmann; Maria Carolina Alban Conto; Mathieu Brossard Published: 2022 Innocenti Research Briefs Emerging evidence shows a positive association between women school leaders and student performance. Some studies suggest women school leaders are more likely than their male counterparts to adopt effective management practices that may contribute to improved outcomes. However, women remain largely underrepresented in school leadership positions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.This brief presents emerging insights on the association between women school leaders and education outcomes and draws attention to women’s underrepresentation in school leadership roles. It highlights the need for further research on gender and school leadership to identify policies and practices that can be implemented to increase women’s representation and scale high-quality management practices adopted by women leaders to more schools to improve education outcomes for all children. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Education, Gender Issues | Tags: education, gender issues, gender roles, learning, primary education, primary schools, secondary education, secondary schools, teachers × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Jessica Bergmann; Maria Carolina Alban Conto; Mathieu Brossard 2022 Increasing Women’s Representation in School Leadership: A promising path towards improving learning.
