The Case of Polygamous Households in North Burkina Faso
Rapports et recherchesDocuments de politique et mémoiresmars, 2016Burkina Faso, AfriqueA recent overview of World Bank social safety net programs and gender highlighted the need for greater consideration of intra-household dynamics in the design of social protection programs (Bardasi 2014). During program design, decisions have to be made about who to target, how much and how often to give cash transfers, and what measures should accompany cash transfers. These decisions become even more complex in the context of polygamous households.
