One of the first Link NCA was conducted in the Tapoa Province in Burkina Faso, in 2012. This pilot study identified several major hypothetical causes of acute malnutrition among children, of which women financial insecurity.
In order to respond to this causal hypothesis, a multiannual, seasonal unconditional cash transfers intervention was identified by Action Against Hunger mission in Burkina Faso and by nutrition stakeholders in the country and province.
To evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this intervention on the prevention of acute malnutrition, the research project ''Acute Malnutrition Moderate Out'' (MAM'Out) was implemented from June 2013 to October 2015 in the Tapoa Province.
In early 2017, a restitution of the MAM'Out project was made to the communities. Beneficiaries gave their perception on cash transfer interventions. This video gives the floor to the people on their opinion on this project.
