Abstract

Food insecurity is one of the international community's priorities in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This article investigates the role played by cash transfers (CTs), the social protection scheme with the largest coverage, in enhancing food security in this region. First, it offers an innovative conceptual framework for explaining the channels through which CT programs can affect food security. Second, based on this conceptual framework, it provides a comprehensive review of evidence of the effects of CTs on different components/indicators of food security in low‐income countries in SSA. The article shows that CTs offer great potential for reducing monetary poverty and enhancing households’ access to food, as long as they take full account of important aspects related to their design and implementation. On the other hand, CTs alone cannot influence nutrition knowledge and practice, and are proved to have limited or no effects on food security outcomes, such as diet diversification or child anthropometrics. In order to enhance all the different aspects of food security in the medium to long term, CTs should be integrated with other, social and economic, interventions. 解决撒哈拉以南非洲的粮食不安全问题：现金转移的作用 粮食不安全是国际社会在撒哈拉以南非洲的优先关注之一。本文探讨了现金转移(CTs)这一覆盖范围最大的社会保障计划在加强该地区粮食安全方面的作用。第一，它提供了一个创新的概念框架，用以解释CT方案可以影响粮食安全的渠道。第二，基于这个概念框架，它全面分析了有关现金转移对撒哈拉以南非洲地区低收入国家粮食安全不同组成部分/指标影响的证据。研究表明，只要充分考虑设计和实施的重要方面，现金转移在减少货币贫困和增加家庭获得食物的机会方面具有巨大的潜力。另一方面，单靠现金转移并不能影响营养知识和实践，并且被证明对食物安全的结果(如饮食多样化或儿童人体测量)影响有限或毫无影响。为了加强粮食安全中长期阶段的所有不同方面，现金转移应与其他社会和经济干预措施相结合。 Abordar la inseguridad alimentaria en el África subsahariana: el papel de las transferencias de efectivo La inseguridad alimentaria es una de las prioridades de la comunidad internacional en el África subsahariana. Este documento investiga el papel desempeñado por las transferencias de efectivo (CT), el esquema de protección social con la mayor cobertura, en la mejora de la seguridad alimentaria en esta región. Primero, ofrece un marco conceptual innovador para explicar los canales a través de los cuales los programas de CT pueden afectar la seguridad alimentaria. En segundo lugar, sobre la base de este marco conceptual, proporciona una revisión exhaustiva de la evidencia de los efectos de los CT en diferentes componentes / indicadores de seguridad alimentaria en países de bajos ingresos en SSA. El documento muestra que los CT ofrecen un gran potencial para reducir la pobreza monetaria y mejorar el acceso de los hogares a los alimentos, siempre que tengan en cuenta todos los aspectos importantes relacionados con su diseño e implementación. Por otro lado, solo los TC no pueden influir en el conocimiento y la práctica nutricional, y se ha demostrado que tienen efectos limitados o nulos en los resultados de seguridad alimentaria, como la diversificación de la dieta o la antropometría infantil. Con el fin de mejorar todos los diferentes aspectos de la seguridad alimentaria a medio y largo plazo, los CT deben integrarse con otras intervenciones, sociales y económicas.
