Analysis of social and power dynamics of stakeholders for the implementation of multi-year Multi Purpose Cash Transfers in North Mali

The stakeholders involved in the study are moving towards a “post-crisis” intervention strategy and are considering a shift in the configuration of transfers, from emergency assistance to more mixed “emergency and post-crisis”, via development aid. The positioning of the intervention itself, its objectives/expected impacts and monitoring and evaluation indicators reflect an initial focus on emergency aid, with a clear evolution towards social and economic development assistance. The Bamako component and the two case studies provide very consistent results on the perception of certain mechanisms of local dynamics; yet, the case studies help to put into perspective certain stakeholder perceptions, including some strategic orientations.
