The team completed a comprehensive assessment of the constraints affecting women and girls receiving cash transfers in urban and peri-urban areas and an assessment of the enabling environment for job creation among young women. The findings informed the design of gender-sensitive interventions in the Kwenda program and were incorporated in two additional World Bank operations: Enhancing the Social Protection System for Human Capital and Resilience Project (P181495) and Angola Youth Employment and Opportunities Project (P505158).
