The presentation showcases evidence from Asia and Africa on G2P’s role in enhancing women’s economic empowerment. We found that G2P programs have an overwhelmingly positive impact on households and on women’s agency in these families. Although pervasive, social norms vary across geographies and have a strong hold on G2P delivery. Besides digital and financial access, the availability and use of gender-disaggregated data and global study on social norms is the need of the hour.
