Abstract:
In 2017, UNHCR and WFP started the multi-purpose cash assistance program (MPC) to financially aid Syrian Households that are unable to sustain themselves. This program aimed at improving the eligible candidates’ well-being in: Expenditures, Food Security, Housing, WASH, Education, Employment, Health, and Decision-Making.
In this research paper, we uncover the mechanism at work between cash assistance food security and education. In specific, we investigate how the level of education of household head/mother impacts the effect of cash assistance on food security.
