REBA Case Study Brief Number 12: Education Material Fairs, Mozambique

Education Material Fairs (EMFs) are a social transfer delivery mechanism designed to motivate school attendance by orphans and vulnerable children in families that are unable to meet even the most basic necessities for school attendance due to financial constraints. EMFs provide a cash transfer in the form of a voucher that can be used to purchase shoes, clothes and educational materials at a fair to which vendors have been invited at a specific date and place. EMFs are thus modelled on Input Trade Fairs (ITFs) that provide farm inputs to vulnerable families in the same way.
