Violent conflict between nomadic herders and settled—mostly agricultural—communities in Nigeria occurs as both groups clash over the use of land and resources, in part, due to a changing climate.

Quantifying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on poverty in Africa has been as difficult as predicting the path of the pandemic, mainly due to data limitations.

Digital technologies can expand access to health services to underserved populations. This paper leverages mobile network expansion and survey data spanning two decades to study the impact of access to mobile phones on infant mortality in Africa.

Contrary to expectations, a recent study shows that beneficiaries of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program overwhelmingly prefer their payments to be at least partly in food.

This paper assesses the impact of Ethiopia's flagship social protection program, the Productive Safety Net Program on the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food and nutrition security of households, mothers, and children.

This paper discusses the potential role of low-cost private secondary schools in Tanzania. The share of private enrollment has been negatively correlated with the availability of public schools.

Economists often default to the assumption that cash is always preferable to an in-kind transfer. Do beneficiaries feel the same way?

This study analyzes impacts of large, one-time cash transfers and farm management plans among farmers in Senegal.

This book addresses the thorny and fascinating question of how food and voucher programs, despite theory and evidence generally favoring cash, remain relevant, have evolved, and, in most circumstances, have improved over time.

This paper discusses the challenges associated with collecting time-use data in developing countries.
