Urban resilience through contingency loans in savings groups: Evidence from Mozambique
This project tests whether externally funded, group-managed contingency loans within community savings groups can improve household resilience to uninsurable shocks in urban Mozambique. Conducted in Beira and Sofala, it evaluates impacts on coping strategies, consumption, and financial well-being, while assessing sustainability and informing scalable, community-based approaches to shock-responsive social protection.
