Great discussions on #CashForCare with a call for further research, sectoral links & complementarity, and child sensitive social protection

Dr Tavengwa Nhongo: governments need to better use skills of social workers for care of children, not have them work in admin. #CashForCare
Strong calls for social workers being allowed to provide care, not administer cash transfers #CashForCare @familyforeveryc

Cash transfers help care givers provide not only material needs but also reduce poverty induced stress @KeetieRoelen @familyforeveryc
Great to hear similar results from social protection and from @Retrak_Charity work through economic and family strengthening #CashForCare
