Title: MAM'Out Project - Evaluation of Multiannual and Seasonal Cash Transfers to Prevent Acute Malnutrition
Brief Summary: The MAM'Out research project aims at evaluating a seasonal and multi-annual cash transfer program in the framework of a safety net to prevent acute malnutrition by children under 24 months, in terms of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in the Tapoa province (East region of Burkina Faso, Africa). The program will be targeted to economically vulnerable households with children less than 1 year old at the time of inclusion and the cash distributed to mothers. The transfers will be assimilated to unconditional ones, leading to beneficiaries' self-determination on the use that will be made of cash. This study will be designed as a two-arm cluster randomized intervention trial, based on randomization of rural villages of the Tapoa province. One arm will receive the intervention and one will be a control arm. The main outcomes will be the cumulative incidence of acute malnutrition (or wasting) and the cost-effectiveness. Anthropometric measures (height, weight and MUAC) will be measured, as well as indicators of dietary diversity, food security, health center frequentation, families' expenses and morbidities. Questionnaires and 24-hour food recalls will also be analyzed. Finally, based on a model theory framework built a priori, the pathways used by the cash to have an effect on the prevention of under-nutrition will be assessed.
