Can digital cash transfers serve those in active conflict zones?

Last week on VoxDev, @KibromAbay (@IFPRI), Lina Abdelfattah (@BSE_Bordeaux), Hala Abushama, @oliverkirui, @HalefomN & @khalidhasiddig outlined research on Sudan: https://t.co/g1mjxfRJ9n

[VoxDev @vox_dev]

Digital cash transfers can be delivered even in active conflict settings like Sudan and can significantly protect vulnerable households – especially in the most insecure areas – from worsening food insecurity, though their impacts vary by context and household characteristics.

A 🆕 study by Mosab Ahmed, Mariam Raouf, and @khalidhasiddig published in @JDevStudies finds that if Sudan’s conflict continues through the end of 2025, the country could face catastrophic economic losses, widespread unemployment, and a dramatic rise in poverty, with women and rural populations hit hardest: https://t.co/vwyRMsSmI5

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile is expected to influence many ecosystem services, such as flood regulation, hydro-electricity production, food supply, and habitat provision, among others.

This study develops and applies an integrated simulation framework for assessing the impacts of the GERD on #Sudan: https://t.co/6l8AHtppsB
