The study further explores the psychosocial mechanisms that made a multi-faceted economic inclusion intervention highly effective, expanding our earlier work go.nature.com/37DSlEB. Kuddos to @catcthomas for driving the mechanism experiment at the core of this new piece!

@Thomasdehoop1 @Ugentilini Thanks. Agree it would be nice to see. (External validity also cuts the other way though: a lot said on public works has been based on the influential programs you mention. Not taking anything away from this important work, but many/most public works have different features)

@Ugentilini @Thomasdehoop1 Thanks! The review focuses on experimental evidence. That includes some programs where participation is spread over time, but not "permanent programs" (as discussed). Most PWPs do not allow for repeated participation every year. But results from repeated WFP programs coming soon
