Context

In February 2018, the Gender Cash Symposium was organized in Nairobi, bringing together researchers and operational actors to share evidence on the impact of cash transfers on gender.

As a result of this workshop, the Agenda for Collective Action was developed and a volume of resources was published by CaLP, which has since been regularly enriched with new research. These initiatives have identified good practices, highlighted ways to mainstream gender in cash transfer interventions, and promoted relevant tools. However, gender dynamics are intimately linked to the operational context, and understanding of the impact of TMs on gender-related vulnerabilities and development opportunities remains limited. The Malian Red Cross and the Cash Learning Partnership wished to join forces to contribute to developing the knowledge available on this theme, particularly in West Africa where there is little documentation of experience available.

A pilot intervention will be implemented between April and May 2019, covering 400 households in all zones.

In order to develop knowledge on the impact of TMs on gender dynamics, the Malian Red Cross and CaLP wished to collaborate to use this intervention as a source of learning for TM and gender.
