ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.  The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.  Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

BACKGROUND

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP pursues a vision of the world in which every man, woman, and child always has access to the diverse food needed for an active and healthy life. In Kenya, WFP leverage its track record with the Government and people of Kenya in four broad areas: strengthening of systems and institutions; innovation for self-reliance; supply chain expertise; and field presence and partnerships. Under strategic outcome two, WFP broadly focuses on strengthening food systems, using livelihood and asset creation, CBT and in-kind transfers during lean seasons. The programmes provide platforms for layering new technologies for climate change adaptation; attracting men and women including male and female youth in agribusiness, and supporting traders and retailers in enhancing efficiencies in supply chains that improve the affordability and quality of food for WFP beneficiaries and broader populations.

The promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment is intrinsic to WFP’s development and humanitarian approach and a precondition to fulfilling its dual mandate of ending global hunger and saving lives. The WFP Strategic plan (2022-2026) prioritizes gender transformative approaches in its programmes, recognizing GEWE as an objective and solution to persistent hunger and malnutrition while at the same time ensuring the safety and security of the beneficiaries. Asset creation and cash transfers as enhancing household livelihoods are equally avenues to mitigate and reduce gender-based violence.

RATIONALE, OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

The Cash Based Transfer (CBT )& Livelihood Activities impact evaluation (IE) is aimed at assessing the impact of WFP’s cash transfers and livelihood activities on women empowerment, measured through women’s labour supply, enhanced self-autonomy, control over cash flows and other non-monetary outcomes. While a larger body of evidence exists regarding the link between cash transfers and some social outcomes, the research has exposed significant evidence gaps regarding the impact of these interventions on gender equality, women’s empowerment, and other associated outcomes. For example, still little is known about the impact of transfers on female beneficiaries’ exposure to violence (both domestic and external), as well as on gender-differentiated outcomes unique to more vulnerable populations, such as the extremely poor or displaced.
The Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) module survey is intended to collect household data on women’s experience of violence as a key to gender empowerment. The ultimate objective is to analyse the extent to which intimate partner violence occurs within the sampled communities – which in turn will inform the resources that are required and the measures that can be taken to provide the necessary support. To facilitate this process,
