Resumen
Descripción
The Global Forum on Nutrition-Sensitive Social
Protection Programs, convened by SecureNutrition
and the Russian Federation, brought together 150
donors, implementers, and country leaders to identify
practical ways to link the nutrition and social protection
agendas. This background paper served as a
springboard for discussion at the Global Forum, and
represents a synthesis of evidence from nearly 120 references
with a heavy focus on program evaluations. This paper finds that social protection transfers tend to increase household
budget devoted to food—often more than other income sources—and highlights evidence that transfers can change diet composition and quality.
