Because of their scale, reaching 718 million individuals globally, .and relative cost-effectiveness, small changes in how transfers are designed and delivered, have the potential to influence their impact on IPV at the margin (World Bank 2015). Similarly, given the possibility of backlash and increases in IPV, it is essential that donors and implementing agencies understand these risks and work to minimize unintended harms from such programs. Some have focused largely on quantitative evidence and have grouped IPV outcomes alongside other gendered outcomes such as women’s decision-making, agency, fertility or early marriage, thus providing little understanding of the mechanisms underlying the cash/violence relationship in different contexts.
