  1. Research Gaps in Cash Transfer ProgrammingLois Austin

  2. Why? • Understand what research is available • Find out who the key research actors • Find out how research findings and recommendations are used and shared – impact? • Identify and prioritize research gaps

  3. CTP Research Context • Shift from viability of CTP towards a large % of action-based and operational research – more specific themes demonstrating what works • A lot of research that contributes to internal strategies – often not shared • Time constraints for many organizations prevent in-depth study – emergencies

  4. Key Research Actors • Few key actors conducting research on CTP – CaLP, ODI • Operational research conducted is growing • Research agendas are influenced by areas of existing investment

  5. Current Gaps • Potential research areas (6 priorities out of 16) • Cost efficiency and effectiveness comparison • Multi-sector cash programming • Wash and CTP • Health potential and CTP • Links between social protection systems and emergency CTP • Cash in refugee contexts • Pulling together existing guidelines and tools

  6. Addressing the Gaps • Close collaboration of research bodies, implementing agencies, donors and other actors is needed to ensure practical recommendations that people can use

  7. Research Utilization and Impact • Measuring impact is complex and time consuming • More likely to have increased impact when solutions to identified problems are given

  8. Research Dissemination • Reinforcement of dissemination needed in order to reach a broader target audience - converted/non-converted • Decision makers • Government

  9. Recommendations • Linking research to interventions from the start • Cataloguing process of exist research needed • An up-to-date Good Practice Review to synthesize guidelines and tools • Research strategy developed • CaLP should take the lead on some of the priority areas of research

  10. Recommendations continued.. • Advocacy for the undertaking of other research by other actors • Build on dissemination practices • Sufficient time for measuring the impact of research
