The research aims to study the effect of humanitarian cash transfers on intimate partner violence (IPV). There are four specific research objectives: Measure the association between cash transfer participation and IPV; assess longer term effects ex post of cash transfer participation on IPV; understand how receipt of cash transfers and the way they are delivered may change gender relations, power dynamics, and IPV in receiving households; and identify ways to improve decision making and design of cash transfers to mitigate IPV risks or enhance positive effects on gender relations.south
