Besides evaluating the relative and absolute impacts of these interventions on household food and nutrition security, we also examine their impacts on households’ preferences for in-kind versus cash transfers. We implement a clustered randomized control trial through which we randomly assigned communities into: (i) “nutrition-sensitive” food box, (ii) traditional “staple-heavy” food box, and (iii) control group.]]></description> </item> <item> <title>NEW PUBLICATION: Unlocking the Power of Partnership to Address Yemen’s Food Crisis and Strengthen Food System Resilience</title> <link>https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/2023/11/07/new-publication-unlocking-the-power-of-partnership-to-address-yemens-food-crisis-and-strengthen-food-system-resilience/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[aabdelhadi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Nov 2023 08:08:37 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Egypt Homepage Slider]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arab food security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[conflict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[food security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yemen]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/?p=9669</guid> <description><![CDATA[Yemen is experiencing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises in recent history as a result of the ongoing conflict, which began more than eight years ago. Today, the country faces a food crisis of unprecedented scale. Despite continuing humanitarian aid, about 17 million people — that is, about half the population — are food insecure (WFP 2023), and more than half a million children under the age of five are estimated to suffer from severe acute malnutrition (UNICEF 2023)]]></description> </item> <item> <title>NEW PUBLICATION: Evaluating cereal market (dis)integration in less developed and fragile markets: The case of Sudan</title> <link>https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/2022/12/29/new-publication-evaluating-cereal-market-disintegration-in-less-developed-and-fragile-markets-the-case-of-sudan/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[aabdelhadi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Dec 2022 12:18:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Egypt Homepage Slider]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cereal market]]></category> <category><![CDATA[markets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sudan]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/?p=8881</guid> <description><![CDATA[This paper evaluates spatial market integration in cereal markets in Sudan, focusing on wheat and sorghum, two major cereal crops. Sudan’s context provides important insights on the functioning of markets in economies marred by sanctions, conflicts, soaring inflation, and macroeconomic imbalances. We use long-ranging monthly cereal price data and a vector of error-correction cointegration model (VECM) to characterize both short-term and long-term spatial price adjustment across cereal markets]]></description> </item> <item> <title>NEW PUBLICATIONS | Impact Evaluation report: Egypt’s Takaful Cash Transfer Program – Second round report</title> <link>https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/2022/09/30/new-publications-impact-evaluation-report-egypts-takaful-cash-transfer-program-second-round-report/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[aabdelhadi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2022 20:39:15 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Egypt Homepage Slider]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Impact evaluation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[social protection]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Takaful and Karama]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://egyptssp.ifpri.info/?p=8686</guid> <description><![CDATA[Egypt introduced the Takaful and Karama Program (TKP), a pair of targeted cash transfer schemes in March 2015.

Other factors, including governments’ responses and export bans, have also con-tributed to rising prices (Laborde and Mamun 2022).
