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: voxdev.org/topic/social-prot…
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.
🆕 Can digital cash transfers serve those in active conflict zones?
Today on VoxDev, @KibromAbay (@IFPRI), Lina Abdelfattah (@BSE_Bordeaux), Hala Abushama, @oliverkirui, @HalefomN & @khalidhasiddig outline research on Sudan: voxdev.org/topic/social-prot…

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: doi.org/10.1080/00220388.202…
