Sustainable poverty reduction through social assistance: Modality, context, and complementary programming in Bangladesh by Ahmed, Akhter, Hidrobo, Melissa, Hoddinott, John F., Kolt, Bastien, Roy, Shalini, Tauseef, Salauddin

“…Social assistance programs can increase consumption and reduce poverty, but less is known about whether these impacts are sustained after programs end or how design and context influence sustainability. Using data collected in two regions of Bangladesh four years after a randomized intervention ended, we find that combining cash transfers with complementary programming led to sustained increases in consumption and reductions in poverty. …”
