Abstract
Poverty and crises are rapidly
“urbanizing†. Yet experience with operationalizing cash
transfers in urban areas is limited. This paper captures
early lessons from a new generation of urban cash transfer
responses to Covid-19 in eleven African countries. The
analysis contextualizes such initiatives within a
longer-term trajectory of urban social protection programs
from the early 2000s. A range of lessons emerge around
design and implementation, partnerships, institutions and
political economy, strategic issues, and evidence and learning.
