  1. Real-time monitoring systems and emerging evidence from East Asia and Pacific Islandsand Maco-micro modelling of the economic crisis impact: Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Ghana Discussant - Subha Mani Fordham University

  2. Background • Crisis and shocks are inevitable • Poor and children are most vulnerable to shocks and bear long-term consequences • Dealing with them in a timely manner is very important • Identify the impact of the crisis

  3. Real-time monitoring systems and emerging evidence from East Asia and Pacific Islands Overview • Sentinel sites – a new way of monitoring the crisis and its impact on children’s health and educational outcomes • The monitoring system is working well and helping us identify the vulnerable sections of the population in a timely manner

  4. Real-time monitoring systems and emerging evidence from East Asia and Pacific Islands Suggestions/Comments • Compare data obtained from sites to other regionally representative data sets to see correlations? • Description of measures of education and health • Determine ways in which households cope with the crisis? • Target interventions through these sites

  5. Maco-micro modelling of the economic crisis impact: Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Ghana Overview • Simulations to predict the possible magnitude of the macroeconomic shocks on micro level outcomes • Simulated the effects of different policy measures on welfare outcomes

  6. Maco-micro modelling of the economic crisis impact: Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Ghana Suggestions/Comments • Data description • Sensitivity analysis – baseline scenario and crisis scenario • Comparisons between different policy responses • Depth of the crisis across different regions within the same country?
