ODI: Malawi - Estimating the Impact of Cash Transfers on the Market

In the most recent edition of the Development Policy Review:
Although cash transfers should not be used under all circumstances, where the market is able to respond to increased demand cash transfers should be considered as an alternative to in-kind aid. Under the right market conditions, not only are the primary beneficiaries able to meet their needs, but the whole of the local community can become potential secondary beneficiaries.
(Simon Davies and James Davey)
