In a field where need for designing evidence-based adaptation strategies urgent, gaps are vast, implementing broad, all-encompassing agenda will require some strategic focus.We followed structured approach to prioritise future research. We consulted experts working across change, both within...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, specific mental health telehealth services in Australia have been an important source of help for increasingly stressed population.

Abstract Child labour is a global issue which creates need for evidence-based interventions such as cash and in-kind transfers. However, there limited evidence about the effect of transfers on child labour, impeding policy development. We address this gap by examining impacts an unconditional transfer, nation-wide subsidised rice program, schooling using longitudinal household survey data from Indonesia. To identify causal effect, we use coarsened exact matching with...
We investigate the effect of an educational cash transfer on schooling and working recipients their non-recipient siblings in Indonesia, using a matched difference-in-differences strategy. find that increases probability for all recipients. Specifically, likelihood senior secondary school children by 19 percentage points. However, there is no recipient's to work. Furthermore, significant spill-over siblings' schooling. While reduces incidence child labour girls, it boys
