Understanding Children’s Experiences of Violence in Ethiopia: Evidence from Young Lives

This research report explores children’s accounts of everyday violence in Ethiopia, and the ways in which factors at individual, family, community, institutional and society levels affect children’s experiences of violence. The report primarily draws on analysis of four rounds of longitudinal qualitative data gathered over seven years, complemented with analysis of cross-sectional survey data from Young Lives. Findings show that violence affecting children – mostly physical punishment and emotional abuse – is widespread, accepted, and normalized.

Looking Beyond Outcome Evaluations of CCTs: The Differential Impact of Peru’s Juntos on Education Achievement

Despite the popularity of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) across Latin America, and proponents’ insistence that the programmes alleviate poverty in the long term, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of such programmes on students’ educational achievement. This paper represents one of just a handful of studies on the impact of CCTs on educational achievement, and to the author’s knowledge, it is the first evaluation of its kind for Peru’s Juntos.
