How Social Assistance Can Improve Mental Health in Fragile Settings | From Fragility to Stability

Today’s episode is produced in partnership with the CGIAR Research Initiative on Fragility, Conflict, and Migration for a series that examines what works to improve the well-being of people in Fragile and Conflict Affected Settings. CGIAR is a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research about food security. 

We are calling this series “From Fragility to Stability” and in today’s episode I host a roundtable discussion with three experts about how social assistance can improve mental health in fragile settings.

Michael Mulford,  World Vision International

Adiam Hailemichael, World Bank economist
