Abstract

The Research on Food Assistance for Nutritional Impact (REFANI) project was implemented to strengthen the evidence base on the nutritional impact and cost-effectiveness of cash and voucher transfers to populations affected by humanitarian emergencies.

This report is divided into 4 sections:

  1. provides an overview of the REFANI project including a summary of the study sites and country contexts in which the studies were conducted.

  2. describes the cash or voucher transfer interventions that were implemented in each site and the study designs that were used to test their effectiveness.

  3. highlights the primary and secondary results for all three studies, and provides a summary table for ease of comparison. Study cost and cost-effectiveness findings are also contained in this section. Finally,

  4. provides the discussion and conclusions which highlight the common findings across the three studies, as well as any key departures and differences.
