Severe Malnutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Unconditional Cash Transfers on the Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a Cluster Randomized Trial
Cash transfer, aims to strengthen food security for vulnerable households by giving families
enough purchasing power to consume an adequate and balanced diet, maintain a good standard
of hygiene, access health services, and invest in their own means of food production in
addition to their children's growth and development.
While cash transfer to vulnerable households has shown a long-term positive impact on growth
and on malnutrition-related mortality in children aged 0-5 years, there is little conclusive
evidence their effectiveness in Sub-Saharan Africa that cash transfer has a direct effect on
the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM). Here, the investigators will
perform a cluster-randomized trial to investigate during 6 months the effects of
unconditional cash transfers on the management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in
children from 6 to 59 months according to the national protocol in the Democratic Republic
of Congo.
