We know that social protection can play a critical role in reducing income insecurity and enabling girls and boys to access education, two key pathways for delaying marriage. Yet, few programmes deliberately and directly target child marriage in their objectives, activities, or monitoring and evaluation efforts.
The current evidence based on cash transfers and child marriage is mixed, leading some practitioners to voice concerns about programming at all in this area. This webinar explored the current evidence base on the role of social protection in preventing child marriage, the programme design characteristics that might support better outcomes in this area, and the links between child marriage, child protection, and social protection programming.
