“This note documents preliminary findings from the trial of an innovative social policy intervention for tackling poverty, improving well-being, and addressing the causes of the worst forms of child labour (WFCL). The Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA) social protection intervention is a universal and unconditional cash-plus programme, combining intensive community mobiliser support and casework with household monthly cash transfers to all households in the neighbourhood.
