Motivation

Forest tenure security plays a critical role in improving the livelihoods of those who live in and around forests and simultaneously contribute to forest conservation. Governments around the world have tried to strengthen tenure through titling programmes. Little is known about how forest titling contributes in practice to tenure security and how it affects local investment in forest management.

Purpose

This research aims to understand the legal, practical, and perceptual dimensions of forest tenure (in)security after the titling programme; and to examine causal paths from tenure (in)security to local investment in forest management.

Approach and methods

Taking Southwest China as an example, the article uses mixed methods to integrate qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Quantitative data were collected using a standardized questionnaire from 410 selected households. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 45 key informants, including forest officials, village heads, elders, women, and local forest rangers. Nine focus group interviews were set up to learn about local perspectives on collective forest tenure reform and perceived tenure (in)security.

Findings

Although legal tenure security has been improved by forest titling, both practical and perceived tenure insecurity continue to exist.

Titling in the three sites varied between collective and individual titles, and by the degree to which either category had been certified. Context played a crucial role; for example, areas where farmers had planted rubber trees were more likely to have individual titles. In some cases, forest lands remained under dispute and were not certified.

Although legal tenure security has been improved by forest titling, in practice, rights to harvest timber and other forest products were restricted by regulations that undermined tenure security. Again, the degree of restriction varies according to local context.

Tenure insecurity also arose from the uncertainty of the duration of rights holding, as legal durations and local perceptions of duration diverged.

Tenure security did not necessarily encourage investment in the management of forests; local context mattered more than tenure.

森林权属保障在改善森林内外居民的生计方面发挥着关键作用，同时也有助于森林保护。世界各国政府都试图通过产权方案来加强使用权。对于森林产权如何在实践中促进权属保障以及它如何影响当地对森林管理的投资，人们知之甚少。本研究旨在了解所有权计划后森林权属安全的法律、实践和感知维度；并研究从权属安全到当地森林管理投资的因果关系。方法与方法本文以西南地区为例，采用混合方法，将定性与定量视角相结合。采用标准化问卷从410个选定的家庭中收集定量数据。通过对45名关键举报人（包括森林官员、村长、长老、妇女和当地护林员）的深入访谈，收集了定性数据。设立了9个焦点小组访谈，以了解当地对集体林权改革和权属安全的看法。虽然森林所有权改善了合法权属的安全，但实际的和感觉上的权属不安全仍然存在。三个地点的所有权在集体所有权和个人所有权之间有所不同，并根据这两类的认证程度而有所不同。语境起着至关重要的作用；例如，农民种植橡胶树的地区更有可能拥有个人头衔。在某些情况下，森林土地仍然存在争议，没有得到核证。虽然森林所有权改善了法定权属保障，但实际上，采伐木材和其他林产品的权利受到损害权属保障的条例的限制。同样，限制的程度因当地情况而异。由于法定期限和当地对期限的看法不一致，所有权不安全还源于权利持有期限的不确定性。权属保障不一定鼓励对森林管理的投资；当地环境比任期更重要。政策启示：中央政府需要更多地关注地方差异，以理解实际和感知的使用权保障。权力下放赋予地方决策权会有所帮助。中央政府还应考虑取消木材配额，以改善权属保障并刺激地方森林管理。此外，政府和国际社会应调查森林权属安全的多维度，同时考虑当地的生物物理和社会经济条件。

The global financial crisis has been exacerbated by a systemic debt crisis in low- and lower-middle-income countries. The Global Financial Safety Net (GFSN) has a role in resolving the debt crisis. However, improving the capacity of indebted countries to cope with market swings and how to make markets a useful source of finance for long-term development remains a challenge looking for a solution. In addition to a larger GFSN, it is essential to develop rules that facilitate debt refinancing during outturns.

Motivation

The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development has provided a once-in-a-decade opportunity for the international community to take stock of both progress in and challenges to financing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although the Addis Ababa Action Agenda has called for a transformative, comprehensive and holistic approach to implementing SDGs, the international development financing system are falling short of expectations. It is high time to reform the international development financing system to fit for purpose.

Purpose

The present paper aims to answer why it is important to foster structural transformation as a key engine for achieving SDGs, what limitations that the existing international development financing system suffer from, and how to rejuvenate the spirit of public entrepreneurship to promote structural transformation.

Approach and methods

First, it takes a historical approach to understand the imperative for achieving structural transformation. Second, it uses the case analysis of infrastructure financing to diagnose the limitations of the international development financing system. Third, it provides a framework for reforming the international development financing system.

Findings

Achieving structural transformation in a sustainable and inclusive manner is a powerful engine for both alleviating poverty and tackling global challenges. Yet, the international development financing system has failed to foster long-run structural transformation due to its inclination to search for ready-made solutions to complex structural challenges and its focus on short-term performance targets and deteriorating fragmentation.

Policy implications

At the strategy level, the international development cooperation system should rejuvenate the spirit of public entrepreneurship in pursuit of structural transformation in a sustainable, equitable and resilient manner. At the operational level, development cooperation agencies should go beyond the current ‘from billions to trillions’ agenda to advance transformational scaling. At the level of international rules, it should create enabling conditions for development finance providers to provide large-scale, long-term and high-risk capital while safeguarding financial soundness and stability.

第四次发展筹资问题国际会议为国际社会评估可持续发展目标筹资进展和挑战提供了十年一遇的机会。尽管《亚的斯亚贝巴行动议程》呼吁采取变革性、全面和整体的方法来实施可持续发展目标，但国际发展融资体系仍未达到预期。改革国际发展融资体系，使之符合宗旨。本文旨在回答为什么促进结构转型是实现可持续发展目标的关键引擎，现有的国际发展融资体系存在哪些局限性，以及如何重振公众创业精神以促进结构转型。首先，我们需要从历史的角度来理解实现结构转型的必要性。其次，通过对基础设施融资的案例分析，诊断国际发展融资体系的局限性。第三，为改革国际发展融资体系提供了框架。以可持续和包容的方式实现结构转型是减轻贫困和应对全球挑战的强大引擎。然而，由于国际发展融资体系倾向于为复杂的结构性挑战寻找现成的解决方案，注重短期绩效目标，碎片化程度日益加深，未能促进长期的结构转型。在战略一级，国际发展合作制度应重振公共企业家精神，以可持续、公平和有韧性的方式进行结构改革。在业务层面，发展合作机构应超越当前“从数十亿到数万亿”的议程，推进转型规模。在国际规则层面，为发展金融机构提供大规模、长期、高风险资本创造有利条件，维护金融健康稳定。

Motivation

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is crucial to address climate change and achieving sustainable development, particularly for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Paris Agreement underscored the importance of involving LMICs in global greenhouse gas reduction efforts, thus amplifying the relevance of renewable energy development in these regions.

Purpose

This study evaluates the effectiveness of financial incentive policies in enhancing official development assistance for renewable energy development in LMICs. It also provides strategies for beneficiaries to select efficient financial incentive policies.

Methods and approach

The study uses panel regression analysis to assess the effectiveness of the financial incentive policies in the relationship between official development assistance for renewable energy development and renewable electricity generation. Using renewable electricity generation as the performance indicator, the article examines the effectiveness of individual financial incentive policies. The data span 2010 to 2019 for 79 LMICs, including the post-Paris agreement period.

Findings

The findings indicate that feed-in tariffs and loans positively moderate the relationship between official development assistance for renewable energy development and renewable electricity generation. Feed-in tariffs seem to have a long-term effect due to their policy design, and loans emerge as a significant moderator influenced by the technological maturation and transformative changes in international climate policy.

Policy Implications

The results suggest that official development assistance for renewable energy development beneficiaries should prioritize feed-in tariffs and loans. Feed-in tariffs offer consistent risk reduction and market access, while loans are most effective when institutional and technological conditions enable large-scale investment. Donors should promote feed-in tariffs for sustained stakeholder participation and loans for capital mobilization.

从化石燃料向可再生能源的过渡对于应对气候变化和实现可持续发展至关重要，对低收入和中等收入国家来说尤其如此。《巴黎协定》强调了让中低收入国家参与全球温室气体减排努力的重要性，从而扩大了这些地区可再生能源发展的相关性。本研究评估财政激励政策在加强中低收入国家可再生能源发展官方发展援助方面的有效性。它还为受益人选择有效的财政激励政策提供了战略。研究采用面板回归分析，评估财政激励政策在可再生能源发展官方发展援助与可再生能源发电关系中的有效性。本文以可再生能源发电为绩效指标，考察了个体财政激励政策的有效性。数据涵盖了2010年至2019年79个中低收入国家，包括《巴黎协定》之后的时期。研究结果表明，上网电价和贷款正向调节可再生能源开发官方发展援助与可再生能源发电之间的关系。上网电价由于其政策设计似乎具有长期效果，而贷款在技术成熟和国际气候政策变革的影响下成为重要的调节因素。研究结果表明，对可再生能源发展受益者的官方发展援助应优先考虑上网电价和贷款。上网电价可以持续降低风险和进入市场，而贷款在体制和技术条件允许大规模投资时最为有效。捐助国应促进上网电价以促进利益攸关方的持续参与，并为资本动员提供贷款。

Development Policy Review
Pub Date : 2025-07-17 DOI: 10.1111/dpr.70025

Motivation

The concept of co-production has gained currency in development policy as an approach for collaboration and/or stakeholder participation to improve development outcomes. Co-production implies bringing together different knowledges to create something new, acknowledging that knowledge is both plural and partial; there are multiple ways of knowing and no one way represents truth. Yet existing literature on co-production tends to focus mostly on strategies for engagement rather than reckoning with structural forces and practical problems to realizing co-production.

Purpose

This article asks how the implementation of the co-production concept can account for relations of power. It develops a conceptual framework and practical guidance for co-producing knowledge for development.

Approach and Methods

The study provides an overview of the theory and practice of co-production and assesses its use in existing development policy. It draws on insights from political ecology literature to construct a conceptual framework and set of practical strategies for implementing co-production.

Findings

This article advances an approach to the co-production of knowledge that integrates political economy, reflexivity, and participatory methodologies to guide collaboration. This approach accounts for historical marginalization and unequal power relations to guide development interventions and/or policy.

Policy Implications

The article warns against uncritical adoption of co-production and highlights practical measures to examine power relations in order to understand challenges and enact equitable sustainable development in diverse settings.

作为合作和/或利益相关者参与改善发展成果的一种方法，合作生产的概念已在发展政策中得到广泛应用。合作生产意味着将不同的知识汇集在一起创造新的东西，承认知识是多元的和部分的；知道的方法有很多种，没有一种方法代表真理。然而，现有的关于合作制作的文献往往主要关注参与策略，而不是考虑实现合作制作的结构性力量和实际问题。本文探讨了合作生产理念的实施如何解释权力关系。它为共同生产促进发展的知识制定了概念框架和实际指导。该研究概述了合作生产的理论和实践，并评估了其在现有发展政策中的应用。它借鉴了政治生态学文献的见解，构建了一个概念框架和一套实施合作生产的实践策略。本文提出了一种整合政治经济学、反身性和参与性方法来指导合作的知识共同生产方法。这种方法解释了历史边缘化和不平等的权力关系，以指导发展干预和/或政策。本文对不加批判地采用合拍片提出了警告，并强调了检查权力关系的实际措施，以便了解挑战并在不同环境中制定公平的可持续发展。

Corporate implementation of certification and its impact on cocoa producers in Indonesia 企业实施认证及其对印尼可可生产商的影响

Motivation

Despite the growing reliance on voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) to increase sustainability in food supply chains, their effectiveness in delivering benefits to smallholders varies across contexts. VSS are implemented through certification schemes which are operated by producers, cooperatives, or processing companies, and heterogeneity in these schemes influences outcomes, but to what degree and how remains poorly understood.

Purpose

We investigate how the implementation of Rainforest Alliance (RA) and Cocoa Life (CL) certification of cocoa producers in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, varies across four different multinational companies, three with RA certification and one with CL certification. We examine the effects of differential implementation of corporate certification schemes on cocoa production and returns to farmers.

Approach and methods

We use qualitative data from 46 key informant interviews and four focus group discussions with certified producers to describe differences in the implementation of VSS in four corporate certification schemes. We use quantitative survey data from 598 smallholder cocoa producers to estimate overall and scheme-specific effects of certification on cocoa production and producer returns. We deploy inverse probability weighted regression adjustments to correct for selection bias.

Findings

Service delivery related to the implementation of certification by the four companies varied considerably, especially in the payment of premiums, training, provision of material support, and access to company-associated collectors (not all certified beans were sold to company collectors). CL certification had no significant impact on production and returns; however, RA certification was associated with higher cocoa yield, price, income, and returns to land—although not evenly for the three corporate schemes that implement RA certification. The observed increases in yields and prices were achieved through different channels in different schemes. Price increases depended above all on the sale of certified beans to collectors associated with the company, rather than to independent traders.

Food processing and distribution companies which operate corporate-driven certification schemes are largely responsible for the effective implementation of VSS. Improving the transparency and accountability of companies in certifie

尽管越来越多地依赖自愿可持续性标准（VSS）来提高食品供应链的可持续性，但它们在为小农提供利益方面的有效性因环境而异。VSS是通过由生产者、合作社或加工公司运营的认证计划实施的，这些计划的异质性会影响结果，但影响程度和影响方式尚不清楚。我们调查了印度尼西亚南苏拉威西岛的四家不同的跨国公司对可可生产商的雨林联盟（RA）和可可生活（CL）认证的实施情况，其中三家获得了RA认证，一家获得了CL认证。我们研究了企业认证计划对可可生产和农民回报的差异实施的影响。方法和方法我们使用了来自46个关键信息者访谈和4个与认证生产商的焦点小组讨论的定性数据来描述四种企业认证方案中VSS实施的差异。我们使用来自598个小农可可生产者的定量调查数据来估计认证对可可生产和生产者回报的总体和特定方案的影响。我们采用逆概率加权回归调整来纠正选择偏差。四家公司提供的与实施认证相关的服务差异很大，特别是在支付保费、培训、提供物质支持和与公司相关的收集者接触方面（并非所有经过认证的咖啡豆都出售给公司收集者）。CL认证对生产和退货无显著影响；然而，RA认证与更高的可可产量、价格、收入和土地回报相关，尽管在实施RA认证的三个公司方案中并不均衡。所观察到的产量和价格的增加是通过不同渠道和不同方案实现的。价格上涨首先取决于认证咖啡豆是否出售给与该公司有关联的收藏家，而不是独立的贸易商。实施企业驱动认证计划的食品加工和分销公司在很大程度上负责有效实施VSS。提高认证供应链中公司的透明度和问责制对于充分实现VSS的目标至关重要。在未来的研究中，认证如何运作的变化值得更多的关注。

“My daughter wore pads only during the day and used rags at night”: Sanitary pad accessibility and educational outcomes for girls in Ghana “我的女儿只在白天戴卫生巾，晚上用破布”：加纳女孩卫生巾的可及性和教育成果

Motivation

The onset of menstruation is an important physiological change that occurs in girls during adolescence. Ghana is making steady progress in improving girls' education by breaking down barriers, but a major issue to be addressed is lack of access to menstrual hygiene products. The situation is made worse by the imposition of a luxury tax on sanitary products. As part of a bursary programme offered by Ghana Education Service/UNICEF, 1,000 girls from northern Ghana regions received sanitary pad distribution support, aimed at keeping them in school until transition to senior high school (Grades 10, 11, and 12).

Purpose

The study examines the usefulness of sanitary pad distribution support in improving girls' education. The research questions are: what is the unmet need for sanitary pads among vulnerable adolescent girls in rural Ghana, what are the related coping mechanisms, and how useful is the distribution of sanitary pads for girls' education?

Approach and methods

The study adopted a phenomenological approach involving beneficiaries, their parents and District Girls' Education Officers. Data collection techniques were focus group discussions for beneficiaries, in-depth interviews for parents, and key informant interviews for officers.

Findings

The high cost of pads presents significant barriers for many schoolgirls from low-income families. A packet of eight to 12 pads costs, on average, GHS 25, which exceeds the daily minimum wage in Ghana of GHS 14.88. Due to this, girls turn to resource rationing strategies that can have a significant adverse effect on their education.

Policy implications

The removal of tax on local pads, while commendable, is undermined by the maintaining of taxes on the necessary imported raw materials. In Kenya, the removal of taxes was complemented by the introduction of subsidies and the free distribution of pads in schools. Alongside tax removal, Ghana could provide subsidies to local producers and introduce social distribution of sanitary pads in basic schools to create a ready market for local producers, intensify public education on menstrual hygiene to eradicate stigma while simultaneously supporting girls' education.

月经的开始是发生在女孩青春期的一个重要生理变化。加纳通过打破障碍，在改善女童教育方面取得了稳步进展，但需要解决的一个主要问题是缺乏获得月经卫生用品的途径。对卫生用品征收奢侈品税使情况变得更糟。作为加纳教育服务处/联合国儿童基金会提供的一项助学金方案的一部分，来自加纳北部地区的1 000名女孩获得了卫生巾分发支助，目的是使她们继续上学，直到升入高中（10年级、11年级和12年级）。目的探讨卫生巾发放支持在改善女童教育中的作用。研究的问题是：加纳农村弱势少女对卫生巾的需求未得到满足的情况是什么？相关的应对机制是什么？卫生巾的分发对女孩教育有多大用处？研究采用现象学方法，涉及受益人、其父母和地区女童教育官员。数据收集技术包括针对受益人的焦点小组讨论、针对家长的深度访谈和针对官员的关键信息提供者访谈。研究结果卫生巾的高成本对许多低收入家庭的女学生来说是一个很大的障碍。一包8到12个卫生巾的平均价格为25 GHS，超过了加纳每天14.88 GHS的最低工资。因此，女孩转向资源配给策略，这可能对她们的教育产生重大不利影响。取消对当地原料的征税虽然值得赞扬，但由于对必要的进口原料继续征税而受到损害。在肯尼亚，除取消税收外，还实行补贴，并在学校免费分发卫生巾。除了取消税收，加纳还可以向当地生产商提供补贴，在基础学校实行卫生巾的社会分配，为当地生产商创造现成的市场，加强关于月经卫生的公共教育，消除耻辱感，同时支持女孩的教育。

Navigating post-conflict governance in Yemen: Decentralization, federalism, and the path to stability 也门冲突后治理的导航：分权、联邦制与稳定之路

Motivation

Yemen's prolonged conflict has deeply eroded state institutions, exacerbated regional disparities, and intensified calls for political restructuring. As the country inches toward potential peace negotiations, identifying viable post-conflict governance models is critical. The urgency is compounded by competing visions from various political factions, regional actors, and civil society, making this an essential area of study for both national recovery and regional stability.

Purpose

This study investigates the potential of three governance frameworks—enhanced decentralization, federalism, and secession—as models for Yemen's post-conflict reconstruction. It aims to answer the following research questions: (1) What governance arrangements align best with Yemen's political, social, and economic context? (2) How can institutional legitimacy and local autonomy be balanced in a fragile, divided state? (3) What lessons can be drawn from other countries with similar experiences?

Approach and Methods

Using a qualitative, comparative methodology, this research analyzes academic literature, policy documents, and governance reports. It integrates historical, institutional, and political economic perspectives to assess the feasibility of each governance model. Case studies from Bolivia, Canada, Ethiopia, and Nigeria provide comparative insights to understand how decentralized or federal systems perform under conditions of fragility.

Findings

Decentralization emerges as a pragmatic but imperfect path forward, hindered by Yemen's history of centralization and weak local institutions. Federalism offers a more structured solution for regional inclusion but risks deepening divisions if poorly implemented. Secession, although politically attractive to some southern groups, presents high risks of economic disruption and international isolation.

Policy implications

Yemen's future governance must avoid one-size-fits-all models. A hybrid approach—balancing regional autonomy with national cohesion and institutional reform—is most promising. International actors should support this transition by promoting inclusive dialogue, strengthening local governance capacity, and ensuring equitable resource management to build sustainable peace.

也门的长期冲突严重侵蚀了国家机构，加剧了地区差距，并加剧了政治改革的呼声。随着该国逐步走向潜在的和平谈判，确定可行的冲突后治理模式至关重要。来自不同政治派别、地区行动者和民间社会的相互竞争的愿景加剧了这一紧迫性，使其成为国家复苏和地区稳定的重要研究领域。本研究探讨了强化分权、联邦制和分裂这三种治理框架作为也门冲突后重建模式的潜力。它旨在回答以下研究问题：(1)什么样的治理安排最符合也门的政治、社会和经济背景？(2)在一个脆弱、分裂的国家，如何平衡制度合法性和地方自治？(3)其他有类似经历的国家有什么经验教训？本研究采用定性比较方法，分析学术文献、政策文件和治理报告。它整合了历史、制度和政治经济观点，以评估每种治理模式的可行性。来自玻利维亚、加拿大、埃塞俄比亚和尼日利亚的案例研究提供了比较见解，以了解分散或联邦制在脆弱性条件下的表现。分权是一条务实但不完美的前进道路，受到也门中央集权历史和薄弱的地方机构的阻碍。联邦制为地区包容提供了一个更有条理的解决方案，但如果执行不力，可能会加深分歧。脱离联邦虽然在政治上吸引了一些南方集团，但也带来了经济混乱和国际孤立的高风险。也门未来的治理必须避免一刀切的模式。一种混合的方法——平衡地区自治、民族凝聚力和制度改革——是最有希望的。国际行为体应通过促进包容性对话、加强地方治理能力和确保公平的资源管理来支持这一过渡，以建设可持续和平。

Motivation

A human-centred approach to social service design is necessary to encourage social service inclusion and to offer an avenue for social service action in Australia and globally.

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to ascertain the extent to which social service providers design their services to include immigrants.

Approach and methods

We draw on literature exploring social service inclusion and the perspectives of 27 social workers and immigrant service users. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight social workers and 19 immigrants who were purposefully selected from Brisbane, Townsville, Melbourne and Sydney. We applied the capability theoretical approach of Amartya Sen as our framework. The interviews were recorded and transcribed using a thematic analysis as the qualitative data analysis approach using NVIVO.

Findings

We find that service inclusion as an egalitarian system should offer service users equitable access to a service, equitable care during a service and equitable opportunity to leave a service.

Policy Implications

We argue for social service inclusion that provides opportunity, offers choice, alleviates suffering, and fosters happiness. We further contend that social service agencies should design their services in a way that promotes inclusion and allows service users to get value for the service.

动机以人为中心的社会服务设计方法是必要的，以鼓励社会服务的包容性，并为澳大利亚和全球的社会服务行动提供途径。本文的目的是确定社会服务提供者设计其服务以包括移民的程度。方法与方法本研究以27位社工与移民服务使用者为研究对象，以文献为基础，探讨社会服务包容性。对8名社会工作者和19名来自布里斯班、汤斯维尔、墨尔本和悉尼的移民进行了半结构化访谈。我们将Amartya Sen的能力理论方法作为我们的框架。访谈使用专题分析作为使用NVIVO的定性数据分析方法进行记录和转录。我们发现，作为一种平等主义制度，服务包容应该为服务使用者提供公平的服务机会、服务期间的公平照顾和公平的离开服务的机会。政策启示我们主张社会服务包容性应提供机会、提供选择、减轻痛苦和促进幸福。我们进一步认为，社会服务机构应该以一种促进包容的方式设计他们的服务，并允许服务用户从服务中获得价值。

The limits to cash-plus provision in protracted crises 在旷日持久的危机中对现金加拨备的限制
IF 2 3区 经济学 Q2 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
Development Policy Review
Pub Date : 2025-06-24 DOI: 10.1111/dpr.70020

Motivation

Cash-plus programmes have succeeded in places where different provisions (e.g., health, education, nutrition) are able to complement each other while augmenting a regular cash transfer payment. The institutional capacity to deliver an integrated support package has marked the effective functioning of these programmes. However, in contexts of conflict and protracted crisis and the associated disruptions of infrastructure damage, insecurity, distrust, and violence, the necessary institutional scaffolding for a well-functioning cash-plus programme becomes unstable and may collapse altogether. Despite this, cash-plus programmes continue to be implemented in these contexts.

Purpose

We assess whether cash-plus programmes are designed and delivered to reduce vulnerability and promote livelihoods in protracted crises, and if their outcomes resonate with their objectives.

Approach and Methods

We develop a multidimensional indicator of protracted crisis, incorporating conflict, displacement, and climate change vulnerability, and map this against the strength of national social protection systems. We review 97 cash-plus programmes in 16 countries, examining design features, objectives, and outcomes.

Findings

The review exposes the weakness in relying on the usual small-lift aims of cash-plus interventions (such as the provision of seeds or poultry, or basic training in business) in contexts where household-level barriers to improving livelihoods are dwarfed by macro-level structural, political, and social ruptures. The evidence demonstrates that most cash-plus interventions are not designed or delivered in ways suitable for crises.

Policy Implications

Household-level objectives will be stymied by institutional and political disruptions; therefore, programmes must also seek to help reshape the context in which people live. During active conflict (as compared to intermittent violence), cash-plus may simply be impossible: it may be better to focus on providing for basic needs, such as through humanitarian aid.

在一些地方，不同的服务（如保健、教育、营养）能够相互补充，同时增加定期现金转移支付，现金附加方案取得了成功。提供一揽子综合支助的机构能力标志着这些方案的有效运作。然而，在冲突和旷日持久的危机以及与之相关的基础设施破坏、不安全、不信任和暴力的背景下，一个运作良好的现金+方案所需的制度框架变得不稳定，甚至可能完全崩溃。尽管如此，在这些情况下继续执行加现金方案。目的我们评估现金+方案的设计和实施是否能够减少持续性危机中的脆弱性和促进生计，以及这些方案的结果是否符合其目标。方法和方法我们制定了一个包含冲突、流离失所和气候变化脆弱性的长期危机多维指标，并将其与国家社会保障体系的强度进行对比。我们审查了16个国家的97个现金+项目，检查了设计特点、目标和结果。在家庭层面改善生计的障碍与宏观层面的结构、政治和社会破裂相比显得微不足道的情况下，该综述暴露了依赖通常的现金+干预措施（如提供种子或家禽，或基本的商业培训）的小目标的弱点。有证据表明，大多数现金+干预措施的设计或实施方式都不适合危机。家庭层面的目标将受到体制和政治混乱的阻碍；因此，规划还必须设法帮助重塑人们的生活环境。在激烈冲突期间（与间歇性暴力相比），现金补贴可能根本不可能实现：最好是集中精力满足基本需求，例如通过人道主义援助。

The evidence demonstrates that most cash-plus interventions are not designed or delivered in ways suitable for crises.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Policy Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Household-level objectives will be stymied by institutional and political disruptions; therefore, programmes must also seek to help reshape the context in which people live. During active conflict (as compared to intermittent violence), cash-plus may simply be impossible: it may be better to focus on providing for basic needs, such as through humanitarian aid.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51478,"journal":{"name":"Development Policy Review","volume":"43 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dpr.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
