How can AIR's pool of #cashtransfer experimental evaluations help international development researchers with randomized control trials in sub-Saharan Africa?

This article adds to sparse evidence base on the topic: a recent review by Leroy et al. found only 4 studies have examined #cashtransfer effects on #birthweight & none were in Africa. https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/151/12/3841/6378059

"To offset the impact [from the planned elimination of some #subsidies], the gov't is due to roll out a $1bn family support programme — funded by int'l donors incl states & financial institutions — to provide a monthly #cashtransfer to up to 80% of #Sudan’s 43m population."

[Using a flat per-person average, that works out to being ~$15 / month for a family with four children]

Sudanese citizens lose patience as #economy falters
