撒哈拉以南非洲的社会和人道主义现金转移越来越多地用于支持广泛的弱势群体，提供长期支持或即时救济。设计和实施现金转移通常涉及一系列跨国行为者和政府利益相关者，他们不断施加权力，反过来影响国家与公民的关系。本文提供的数据来自对109个关键线人的访谈，这些访谈涉及莱索托和马拉维的三个社会现金转移和两个人道主义现金转移的（国际）国家层面的利益相关者。本文认为，在莱索托和马拉维，捐助者设计的目标方法为新的国家-公民关系创造了空间，但这些方法相对肤浅，一旦技术能力允许减少对社区的依赖，这些目标方法就会重新配置。它通过表明跨国行为者在创造新的再分配关系方面的作用是重要的，从而为关于跨国行为者在社会保护方面的作用的文献做出了贡献，即使跨国行为者无法说服东道国政府为其倡议承担全部财政责任，因为他们对谁应该得到什么样的支持有不同的看法。
Social and humanitarian cash transfers in sub‐Saharan Africa are increasingly used to support a wide range of vulnerable populations with long‐term support or immediate relief. Designing and implementing cash transfers typically involves a range of transnational actors and government stakeholders who continuously exert power which in turn affects state–citizen relations. The data informing this article come from 109 key informant interviews with (inter)national‐level stakeholders involved in three social cash transfers and two humanitarian cash transfers in Lesotho and Malawi. This article argues that donor‐designed targeting approaches in Lesotho and Malawi create space for new state–citizen relations, but that these are relatively shallow and reconfigured once technical capacity allows for targeting approaches that rely less on communities. It contributes to the literature on the role of transnational actors in social protection by showing that their role is significant when it comes to creating new redistributive relations, even if transnational actors are unable to convince host governments to take full fiscal responsibility for their initiatives due to differing views on who deserves what kind of support.
