<p class="re-small-font">Abstract:</p>
|
||
<p class="re-small-font">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.</p>
