ABOUT THE PROGRAM Launched in March 2012, the African Peacebuilding Net- work (APN) supports independent African research on conflict-affected countries and neighboring regions of the continent, as well as the integration of high-quality African research-based knowledge into global policy communities. In order to advance African debates on peacebuilding and pro- mote African perspectives, the APN offers competitive re- search grants and fellowships, and it funds other forms of tar- geted support, including strategy meetings, seminars, grantee workshops, commissioned studies, and the publication and dissemination of research findings. In doing so, the APN also promotes the visibility of African peacebuilding knowledge among global and regional centers of scholarly analysis and practical action and makes it accessible to key policymakers at the United Nations and other multilateral, regional, and na- tional policymaking institutions. ABOUT THE SERIES “African solutions to African problems” is a favorite mantra of the African Union, but since the 2002 establishment of the African Peace and Security Architecture, the continent has continued to face political, material, and knowledge-related challenges to building sustainable peace.

  • Cash Transfers and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Low- and Middle-Income Settings
    PROJECT NOTE JUNE 2021 Cash Transfers and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Low- and Middle-Income Settings A Joint Research Agenda to Inform Policy and Practice The Cash Transfer & IPV Research Collaborative and Innovations for Poverty Action, with input from the research and practice community1 1. Motivation and Background Over the last five years, there has been increasing interest from global stakeholders in the relationship between cash transfers and gender-based violence, and in particular, intimate partner violence (IPV). Interest has grown both within the development and humanitarian spaces, although empirical research is mainly concentrated in the former. A mixed-method review paper published in 2018 found that, across 22 quantitative or qualitative studies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the majority (73%) showed that cash decreased IPV; however, two studies showed mixed effects, and several others showed heterogenous impacts (Buller et al. 2018). A more recent meta-analysis of 14 experimental and quasi- experimental cash transfer studies found average decreases in physical/sexual IPV (4 percentage points (pp)), emotional IPV (2 pp) and controlling behaviors (4 pp) (Baranov et al. 2021). A feature of this literature is the high representation of evaluations from Latin America, primarily government conditional cash transfer programs. In addition, programming was generally focused on poverty-related objectives, and none of the programming was explicitly designed to affect IPV or violence outcomes more broadly. 1 This research agenda was drafted by Amber Peterman and Shalini Roy, with inputs from Melissa Hidrobo, Lucy Billings, Tia Palermo, Clare Barrington, Meghna Ranganathan, Ana Maria Buller and Lori Heise (Cash Transfer and IPV Research Collaborative), Pace Phillips and Ellen Bates-Jeffreys (IPA), as well as workshop participants at the “Cash Transfers and IPV: Sharing Evidence & Aligning Research Agendas to Inform Policy” event, held on October 29-30, 2020 (see Annex C).

    Togo Ethnicity in Togo Group selection Although Togo’s ethnic landscape is much more complicated, the list of politically relevant groups can be reduced to two big clusters (Ewe and Kabré). This aggregation is also proposed by other scholars (5204; 5205). There are, of course, more ethnic groups than two such 5204 [Brown, 1983] big clusters; however, there is no evidence suggesting that any of 5205 [Decalo, 1996] these groups has ever been politically relevant in the sense that they were discriminated or politically represented by any ethnic interest group. Group sizes according to Decalo (5206). 5206 [Decalo, 1996] Power relations 1960-1962: rule of Sylvanus Olympio and his CUT. The CUT is an Ewe-based party (5207). The Ewe and other southern ethnic groups 5207 [Barbier, 1987] were the privileged groups during the colonial period. Accordingly, they dominate the country’s political life after independence and the new state’s civil service. Moreover, the Ewe south is also much more developed economically than the north, the home region of the Kabré and affiliated groups (5208; 5209). 5208 [Brown, 1983] Olympio’s government is mainly composed of Ewe although there 5209 [Decalo, 1996] are also northerners included (also Kabré) (5210; 5211). In fact, the 5210 [Barbier, 1987] CUT received significant electoral support from the north in the 5211 [Brown, 1983] 1958 elections (5212; 5213).
