Title
Can universal cash transfers spur citizenship? An evaluation of Busibi CT's impacts on (perceived) political efficacy
Author
Abstract
The University of Antwerp’s Institute of Development Policy (IOB) was entrusted by the Belgian non-profit organization Eight VZW to monitor and evaluate the effects of some of its universal unconditional mobile cash transfer (UCT) programs. Such CTs are devised, because of their design features, as small-scale basic income experiments. This brief follows Eight’s pilot project, carried out in the rural Western Ugandan village of Busibi, through three different points in time (up to 2 years after the end of the program). The study focuses on the changes that were observed in recipients’ citizenship, zooming in more specifically on (perceived) political efficacy. The preliminary descriptive findings provide ground for a few recommendations for policymaking, M&E, and further research on the topic
