Social protection/safety nets expertise
TANGO evaluations of United Nations and USAID food assistance programs address social protection in the context of asset transfers to vulnerable and marginalized populations.
Recent work in this area includes: the Final Evaluation of Improved Governance for Hunger Reduction for the Food and Agriculture Organization (2016, find the report here); a technical report on The Effect of Livelihood Diversity on Recovery and Shock Impact in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda for USAID Feed the Future and The International Livestock Research Institute (2016, find the report here); and an Ex-post Impact Assessment of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Research Program on Social Protection (2015, find the report here).
Additionally, TANGO’s work in HIV and AIDS ranges from measuring vulnerability, to analyzing the interaction between HIV/AIDS and food and livelihood security, to designing ways to use food assistance to support affected households and communities in high-prevalence contexts. TANGO ensures protection principles are upheld when conducting research involving people living with HIV and AIDS.
