Cash transfer programs in Southern Africa: the emergence of the new welfare
states?
Welfare Reform Academic Article
Jelena Vidojevic examines the impact and constraints of cash transfer programs
in Southern Africa and suggests a basic income as a viable remedy to address the
challenges of structural unemployment and poverty. In her article, published in
the Journal of Social Policy, Vidojevic showcases how the success of cash
transfer programs points towards the transformative potential of implementing a
basic income policy.

Service

OUR IMPACT
NSI’s purpose is to provide evidence-based policy and applied research on
complex problems of government in delicate democracies. We will judge our
success on whether our insights and recommendations lead to actions by
government to improve performance of state institutions and the other
cornerstone institutions of democracy.
READ ABOUT OUR IMPACT
OUR PROJECTS
NSI provides evidence-based policy and applied research on complex problems of
government in emergent democracies. NSI’s team has deep expertise in research,
policy and advocacy. We currently run six research programmes. All adopt a
common approach characterised by a focus on institutions and how to build them,
research that brings theory and practise together, both in-country and
comparatively, and an emphasis on working through partnerships with those who
must implement the change. Our big data capability and analytics adds
significant value to our research.
