In their blog "Cash transfers can help Yemen's conflict-affected children", first published on the Thomson Reuters Foundation News site, Sikandra Kurdi and Olivier Ecker discuss what can be done to address the problem drawing on the two recent PIM-supported studies which provide evidence that cash transfers can reduce conflict-driven malnutrition in Yemen. In another blog featuring results of this work, Sikandra Kurdi, Clemens Breisinger, Hosam Ibrahim, Yashodhan Ghorpade, and Afrah Al-Ahmadi analyse new evidence from an impact evaluation of Yemen’s Cash for Nutrition Program, finding that cash transfer programs that provide households support for purchasing food have effectively reduced conflict-driven acute malnutrition in Yemen.
