Innocenti Research Briefs Cash transfers – Past, present and future: Evidence and lessons learned from the Transfer Project AUTHOR(S) Nyasha Tirivayi; Jennifer Waidler; Frank Otchere Published: 2021 Innocenti Research Briefs Since 2009, the Transfer Project has generated rigorous evidence on the impacts of cash transfers in sub-Saharan Africa and has supported their expansion. The Transfer Project is a collaborative network comprising UNICEF (Innocenti, Regional and Country Offices), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, national governments and researchers. It aims to “provide evidence on the effectiveness of cash transfer programmes, inform the development and design of cash transfer policy and programmes, and promote learning across SSA on the design and implementation of research and evaluations on cash transfers”.This brief summarizes the current evidence and lessons learned from the Transfer Project after more than a decade of research. It also introduces new frontiers of research. + - Cite this publication | Tags: cash transfers, social protection, social protection programmes × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Nyasha Tirivayi; Jennifer Waidler; Frank Otchere 2021 Cash transfers – Past, present and future: Evidence and lessons learned from the Transfer Project.

Innocenti Research Briefs Let Us Continue Learning: Lessons from Madagascar for improving access and retention of vulnerable children in secondary school AUTHOR(S) Marco Valenza; Cirenia Chávez; Annika Rigole; Andrea Clemons; Alvaro Fortin; Erica Mattellone Published: 2021 Innocenti Research Briefs Malagasy adolescents face severe challenges in accessing and completing basic education. Among those students who complete the primary cycle, one in four does not transition into lower secondary school. Economic constraints among vulnerable households coupled with low-quality education result in widespread dropout and poor learning outcomes.Acknowledging these multidimensional barriers, UNICEF Madagascar leveraged funds from the Let us Learn (LUL) programme to implement a two-pronged strategy to support Malagasy children in accessing and continuing lower secondary school. The Catch-up Classes provide out-of-school adolescents with a learning pathway to build the foundational literacy and numeracy skills they need to resume studying in formal school. Conditional cash transfers target families with children who are at risk of abandoning school after completing the primary cycle.This brief builds on programme monitoring data, impact evaluations and qualitative insights from the field to highlight lessons learnt and actionable recommendations for accessing and continuing vulnerable children’s secondary education. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 10 | Thematic area: Education | Tags: access to education, secondary education, vulnerable children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Marco Valenza; Cirenia Chávez; Annika Rigole; Andrea Clemons; Alvaro Fortin; Erica Mattellone 2021 Let Us Continue Learning: Lessons from Madagascar for improving access and retention of vulnerable children in secondary school. , pp. 10.
Innocenti Research Briefs It’s Not Too Late to Act on Early Learning: Understanding and recovering from the impact of pre-primary education closures during COVID-19 AUTHOR(S) Dita Nugroho; Youngkwang Jeon; Akito Kamei; Florencia Lopez Boo Published: 2021 Innocenti Research Briefs This paper presents a new estimate that pre-primary school closures in 2020 may cost today’s young children US$1.6 trillion in lost earnings over their lifetimes. Children in middle-income countries will be most greatly affected. However, most low- and middle- income countries are leaving pre-primary education out of their responses to COVID-19. This paper also draws lessons from evaluations of accelerated, bridging and remedial programmes on how introducing or expanding these transition programmes in the early years can mitigate the long-term impact on learning from pre-primary school closures. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 14 | Thematic area: Education | Tags: COVID-19 response, learning, primary education, primary schools × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Dita Nugroho; Youngkwang Jeon; Akito Kamei; Florencia Lopez Boo 2021 It’s Not Too Late to Act on Early Learning: Understanding and recovering from the impact of pre-primary education closures during COVID-19. , pp. 14.
Innocenti Research Briefs Continuing learning for the most vulnerable during COVID-19: Lessons from Let Us Learn in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, Madagascar and Nepal AUTHOR(S) Cirenia Chávez; Marco Valenza; Annika Rigole; Thomas Dreesen Published: 2021 Innocenti Research Briefs The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted every aspect of society. In mid-April 2020, 192 countries had closed their schools, putting 9 out of 10 enrolled children out of school. These closures disproportionately affected marginalized children, worsening existing inequities across education systems worldwide.This brief draws on the experience of five UNICEF education country programmes supported by the Let Us Learn (LUL) initiative, to document tangible lessons in adapting education programmes to support the most marginalized children during school and learning centre closures. The evidence in this brief stems from a series of semi-structured interviews with Education and Child Protection specialists, as well as a document review of available COVID-19 response studies, in the five LUL-supported UNICEF Country Offices. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 12 | Thematic area: Education | Tags: COVID-19, education, educational programmes × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Cirenia Chávez; Marco Valenza; Annika Rigole; Thomas Dreesen 2021 Continuing learning for the most vulnerable during COVID-19: Lessons from Let Us Learn in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, Madagascar and Nepal. , pp. 12.
