Building on previous experience in Uganda, the Belgian organisation Eight World vzw started in October 2021, an Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) pilot project in a village in an artisanal mining zone in the territory of Pangi, in Maniema province, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Eight World transfers cash directly to individual beneficiaries via a mobile money system. Each adult living in the UCT village received 20 USD per month via her/his phone, for two years, and each child in the village received monthly 10 USD during the same period. The beneficiaries were free to decide how to spend the money, not constrained by pre-specified requirements. IPIS has undertaken a comprehensive endline study to evaluate key indicators related to the socio-economic, physical, and mental well-being of UCT recipients, and provide insights into the impact of the UCT programme on beneficiaries. IPIS assessed potential effects of the UCT intervention by comparing outcomes between the UCT village and a Control village before (baseline), during (midline), and immediately after (endline) the UCT programme.  After two years, substantial changes were observed in the UCT village for several key factors, (including housing, health, and diet variety) compared to the Control village. The findings suggest that the intervention has positively affected socio-economic conditions of the UCT recipients in a village located in Maniema province’s artisanal mining zone.
