RHVP recently participated in a meeting, from which the following communiqué was an outcome, held in Carmona, Spain, at which social welfare and cash transfer experts gathered to examine evidence emerging from three systematic reviews exploring linkages between social welfare services and cash transfers. The meeting was a follow-up to the London consultation held in 2007 on Advancing Policy Relevant Research Around Social Welfare Services and meeting delegates specifically focused on findings from the reviews relating to integration of social welfare services and cash transfers in Ghana, Chile, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Kenya. Evaluation initiatives from existing programmes and future initiatives were also examined in terms of social welfare elements, measurement and future potential in integrating such concepts into provision and evaluation.
