This article presents findings on the local economy impacts of seven African country SCT programmes evaluated as part of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) “From Protection to Production” (PtoP) project. 1 The countries are Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Table 1). The PtoP project has facilitated expansion of the evaluations of SCT programmes to include productive and local-economy impacts.2 Local economy-wide impact evaluation (or LEWIE; see Taylor and Filipski, 2014; Taylor et al., 2016) employs simulation methods to reveal the full impact of cash transfers on local economies, including spillovers they create to non-beneficiaries. It does this by linking agricultural household models together into a general-equilibrium model of the local economy, in most cases a treated village or village cluster.
