Video 1 Measuring impact of cash transfers for mother baby health
Ghana is on the cutting edge of using cash transfers to stimulate improved nutrition and growth outcomes among infants under one year old in its poorest communities. The project is called LEAP1000 because it builds on a highly successful cash transfer project in Ghana called Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty – or LEAP for short – to address persistent malnutrition and stunting among children in the first 1000 days of life.
Innocenti’s social and economic policy team is providing support to UNICEF Ghana to design and coordinate a rigorous impact evaluation of the LEAP1000 project. The new project provides a rare opportunity to document on film the planning, roll out, integration and analysis of randomized control trials which should deliver strong evidence of the impact of cash benefits to vulnerable households with pregnant mothers and infants.
