Community Currencies as Crisis Response

+

Results from a Randomized Control Trial in Kenya

+

+
+
+

Abstract:

+

In 2020, Grassroots Economics’ Community Inclusion Currency (CIC) model was adopted by the Kenya Red + Cross as a humanitarian response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper presents the results of what + may be the world’s first randomized control trial in this area. Unlike most cash transfer programs, + recipients are sent cryptocurrencies rather than cash or mobile money, enabling an unprecedented + level of impact evaluation. Results show that CIC transfers of $30 are associated with $93.51 + increase in beneficiaries’ wallet balance, a $23.17 increase in monthly income, a $16.30 increase in + monthly spending, a $6.31 increase in average trade size and a $28.43 increase in expenditure on + food and water. However, the difference in treatment effects for males versus females suggests + gender imbalances persist. This study serves as an important prototype for cash transfer models that + keep money flowing locally and support bottom-up economic resilience.
