Book excerpt: بدءًا من شهر مارس ۲۰۱٥، حرصت الحكومة المصرية على توفير دعم نقدي للأسر المصرية الواقعة تحت خط الفقر الأدني كوسيلة للحماية الاجتماعية لصالح الأسر من خلال أول برنامج مشروط للدعم النقدى وهو برنامج "تكافل وكرامة" الذي تديره وزارة التضامن الاجتماعي. ويدعم برنامج "تكافل" العائلات الأكثر فقراً من التي تعول أطفال دون سن الثامنة عشر، ويدعم برنامج "كرامة" الفئات الأكثر فقراً من المسنين وذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة والأيتام. وبلغ عدد مستفيدي البرنامج حتي تاريخه حوالى 2.25 مليون اسرة من جميع محافظات الجمهورية، ويجمع المبلغ النقدي لأسر تكافل بين قيمة ثابتة للدعم للأسرة ككل بالإضافة لقيمة متغيرة علي حسب عدد الأطفال (بحد أقصي ثلاثة أطفال للأسرة الواحدة) ومراحلهم الدراسية ولاحقا إنتظامهم في الحضور، بينما يمثل الدعم المقدم لمستفيدي "كرامة" قيمة ثابتة شهريا لكل فرد (بحد أقصي ثلاثة أفراد للأسرة الواحدة). ومن اجل الوصول الى الاسر الاشد فقراً والأكثر إحتياجاً، فقد تم استخدام منهجية القياس "إختبار التقييم غير المباشر للموارد المتعددة لدي الأسر" لإختيار الأسر المؤهلة للإنضمام للبرنامج، ففي برنامج "تكافل"، وجد أن 89% من المستفيدين من النساء، في حين أن 11% فقط من المستفيدين من الرجال. وبدأ برنامج "تكافل" في عام ٢٠١٨ في تطبيق الشروط الواجبة لاستمرار الأسر المستفيدة من البرنامج في تلقي الدعم النقدي، والمتمثلة في إنتظام الأطفال في الحضور الدراسي بنسبة لا تقل عن 80% وإنتظام الأم في إجراء زيارات الرعاية الصحية الأولية ومتابعة النمو وبرامج رعاية ما قبل وبعد الولادة للنساء الحوامل. وفي إطار تنفيذ دراسة تقييم الأثر التي تم تكليف المعهد الدولي لبحوث السياسات الغذائية بها لتقييم أثر برنامج " تكافل وكرامة"، تم تنفيذ (1) تقييم كَمّي عن طريق إجراء مسح يتضمن أسئلة إحصائية مبسطة موجهة لعدد كبير من الأسر، و(٢) تقييم نوعي يتضمنأسئلة أكثر عمقًا موجهة لعدد أقل من الاسر (أنظر المربع ۱). وقد تم تصميم التقييم لقياس مدى إفادة وتأثير الدعم النقدي على معيشة تلك الأسر، واختبار ما إذا كانت معايير اختيار وقبول الأسر فعالة في تحديد الأسر الأكثر فقراً. ويعرض هذا التقرير في الصفحات التالية ملخص النتائج والتوصيات الأساسية لهذا للدراسة التي قامت علي أسر برنامج "تكافل".

This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the evaluation study provides a greater focus on measuring the impact of the larger Takaful program and also attempts to measure the impact of the much smaller Karama program. In addition, IFPRI will conduct a qualitative assessment of the Takaful and Karama program focused on learning about the experience with the program among the poorest beneficiary households. This qualitative assessment will also draw lessons from the quantitative survey to provide another report on the experience of very poor households. The remainder of this report is organized as follows Chapter 2 provides an overview of the Takaful and Karama Program. Chapter 3 summarizes the impact evaluation design. Chapter 4 describes the evaluation survey and sample. Chapter 5 provides context for the program by using the survey data to summarize the characteristics of beneficiary and non-beneficiary households and describe beneficiaries’ experience with program implementation. Chapter 6 presents the impact estimates for Takaful and Chapter 7 the estimates for Karama. Chapter 8 uses data from a separate representative sample of households collected during the survey to assess the targeting performance of the program. Chapter 9 concludes and discusses implications for social policy in Egypt.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative evaluation of the Takaful cash transfer program was conducted between January and April 2018 by a team of researchers trained in qualitative methods. The evaluation sought to further delve into and explain dimensions of the Takaful transfers’ impact on beneficiaries that were previously under-investigated in the quantitative survey. In so doing, the quantitative components’ findings were also further contextualized and clarified. This qualitative component’s main goals, therefore, were to explore the differences between the transfers’ impact on ultra-poor households and households near the threshold, the differences in how the two household types use the transfer, and the impact of the transfers on intrahousehold decision making with special focus on women.

Book excerpt: Even though substantial progress has been achieved worldwide in reducing both poverty and malnutrition, much is yet to be done. There are signs that the progress made in both dimensions has stalled in recent years. Poor-quality diets have become a major driver for overweight and obesity and associated non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, and some types of cancers. Conflict and climate vulnerability have been identified as major obstacles to reaching Sustainable Development Goal targets related to malnutrition by 2030. In 2019, economic downturns and slowdowns hindered efforts even further. More recently, the COVID-19 crisis has imposed even harsher conditions to countries.Poverty and malnutrition are inevitably linked, and therefore addressing one can help address the other. Given that most of the world’s extremely poor people and stunted children live primarily in rural areas and rely mostly on agriculture, the agriculture and food systems approach can offer an opportunity to reduce both poverty and malnutrition. The food systems approach places equal emphasis on both the supply and demand dimensions that are critical for ensuring healthier diets and better nutrition for poor and vulnerable groups.This special issue of Policy in Focus is dedicated to answering a crucial question: How can a food systems approach be used to design and implement policies and investments that reach those most vulnerable to poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and suboptimal diets? We hope that the contributions contained in this volume, by leading academics and development practitioners, exploring the linkages between nutrition, food systems, and poverty, can help stakeholders and policymakers make inroads towards the promotion of food and nutrition security and the reduction of rural poverty.

Undernutrition—manifested by poor linear growth (stunting), wasting, and micronutrient deficiencies in children and by anemia among women of reproductive age—collectively saps an estimated two percent of Egypt’s annual gross domestic product through forgone productivity and health care costs, representing an economic hemorrhaging of billions of U.S. dollars per year. Adding to this challenge is the co-occurrence of overweight and obesity among children, leading to a malnutrition double burden. Scaling Up Nutrition in the Arab Republic of Egypt aims to inform the development of nutrition policy and guide nutrition investments over the coming years. It reviews Egypt’s nutrition situation, the interventions currently in place, and the opportunities, costs, benefits, and fiscal space implications of scaling up a set of high-impact interventions to address undernutrition. The book, a collaborative effort between the World Bank and UNICEF, is targeted at all those involved in developing and implementing nutrition interventions in Egypt and beyond.

This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forsa, which means “Opportunity” in Arabic, is a new economic inclusion program of the government of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Implemented by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, the program aims to graduate beneficiaries of the national cash transfer program, the Takaful & Karama Program (TKP), to economic self-reliance by enabling them to engage in wage employment or sustainable economic enterprises. The 2021 World Bank Economic Inclusion report (Andrews et al. 2021) highlights a recent increase globally in such graduation or economic inclusion programs, which now reaches around 92 million beneficiaries from 20 million households across more than 75 countries. This rapid growth has necessitated an increasing demand for evidence on best practices in graduation program implementation. The newly designed Forsa program is based on the graduation approach, but with innovations drawing from theories of behavioral economics as well as creating a network of active youth volunteers for economic empowerment to reduce costs compared to the standard BRAC-inspired model. Forsa also expands the graduation model to include the option of wage-employment, rather than only focusing on self-employment. Evidence on the impact of job training programs linked to wage employment on both job retention and future earnings is mixed (McKenzie 2017), although most such programs do not include cash assistance. This impact evaluation of the Forsa program in Egypt is intended to contribute to the global evidence on effective graduation program design as well as provide immediate policy-relevant guidance for the Ministry of Social Solidarity. The impact evaluation will measure the degree to which Forsa is successful at increasing household consumption and will investigate which participant groups and program features demonstrate the greatest improvements in household welfare and economic activity.

Book excerpt: Food systems are at a critical juncture—they are evolving quickly to meet growing and changing demand but are not serving everyone’s needs. Building more inclusive food systems can bring a wide range of economic and development benefits to all people, especially the poor and disadvantaged. IFPRI’s 2020 Global Food Policy Report examines the policies and investments and the growing range of tools and technologies that can promote inclusion. Chapters examine the imperative of inclusion, challenges faced by smallholders, youth, women, and conflict-affected people, and the opportunities offered by expanding agrifood value chains and national food system transformations. Critical questions addressed include: How can inclusive food systems help break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and malnutrition? \What can be done to strengthen the midstream of food value chains to improve rural access to jobs, markets, and services? Will Africa’s food systems generate sufficient jobs for the growing youth population? How can women be empowered within food system processes, from household decisions to policymaking? Can refugees and other conflict-affected people be integrated into food systems to help them rebuild their lives? How can national food system transformations contribute to greater dietary diversity, food safety, and food quality for all? Regional sections look at how inclusion can be improved around the world in 2020 and beyond. The report also presents interesting trends revealed by IFPRI’s food policy indicators and datasets.
