Cash Transfers in Pandemic Times

This paper by Ugo Gentilini, brings together trends, evidence and practices generated over the course of the pandemic. The focus revolves primarily around social assistance in general and cash transfers in particular, with both anchored to the broader remit of social protection.

The objective is to give a compact, evidence based, and coherent overview of issues and experiences unfolding in different contexts, and present a balanced discussion of recent performance and possible future directions.
