In September and October 2007, ODI contributed to an
assessment of the feasibility of a cash transfer project and the
design of the project (Levine, 2007; Bailey, 2007). As part of a
second phase of collaboration between World Vision and ODI
around the wider issue of World Vision’s global engagement
with cash transfer programming, ODI has conducted action
research focussing on the particular issue of gender in relation

The report begins by identifying key research questions and developing a conceptual and methodological framework to guide the research process. The framework draws on existing literature
