EXPLORE RESPONSES TO SOCIOECONOMIC
CRISIS DURING COVID-19
Exploring cash transfers in the time of COVID-19
How we think cash transfers can be used to reduce vulnerability to exploitation as a result of COVID-19, and how the lessons we have drawn from our policy paper might help current responses.
For many vulnerable families, there is no real choice between sending a child to school or putting the child to work or marrying them early to help lessen the economic burden on the family.
PROMISING PRACTICES
