Unconditional Cash Transfers in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, Uganda
REFNo: SS281ES

Due to limited evidence on the effect of large, one-off unconditional cash transfers in refugee contexts, the commissioning organization GiveDirectly has requested IDinsight to conduct a rigorous impact evaluation. The research study aims to answer the following core research questions:
1. What is the impact of large, unconditional cash transfers on refugee households for outcomes such as income, assets, consumption, enterprise, food security and psychological wellbeing?
2. What do any changes caused by the cash transfers mean for the lives of refugee households and how did those changes come about?
3. What is the effect of cash transfers on host communities, and their relationship with the refugee communities?
