Synopsis (short abstract) There is increased evidence of the positive incremental impacts on food security and nutrition, as well as poverty reduction and other dimensions, when social protection and agriculture policies and programmes are combined. In this context, the Government of Kyrgyzstan is developing and implementing the concept of a “social contract” as an umbrella programmatic framework to provide additional and more intensive support to poor and vulnerable households. Based on the latest available evidence and the specific expertise of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Kyrgyz Government and FAO have collaborated in order to pilot test an approach linking social protection benefits with agricultural support, with the aim of boosting food production, generating income opportunities and improving food security and nutrition.

Rapid assessment and microsimulation of impacts of a Cash+ pilot intervention in Kyrgyzstan 2022

This report presents the results of a mixed-method rapid assessment that provides both indicative quantitative information and in-depth qualitative analysis on the household-level impacts of the Cash+ pilot. The assessment focused on the effects of the pilot intervention on dietary diversity, income generation and poverty reduction outcomes as well as household decision-making. To establish the impacts of the pilot, the assessment relied on comparing subjective perceptions of households that participated in the pilot, those receiving only cash transfers but not the pilot, and a sample of other households that did not receive either support (as a comparison group). This was accomplished through a qualitative study and a quantitative study. The rapid assessment was complemented by a microsimulation analysis of potential poverty impacts and implications for food consumption diversity that made use of the Kyrgyz Integrated Household Survey (KIHS) conducted in 2014, which is representative at the national level.

This report presents the results of a mixed-method rapid assessment that provides both indicative quantitative information and in-depth qualitative analysis on the household-level impacts of the Cash+ pilot. The Cash+ approach has been developed to reap the benefits of integrating cash transfers with productive support interventions and skills training. The approach brings together key sectors, such as social protection, agriculture and nutrition, in an effort to address the key determinants of poverty and some underlying causes of malnutrition. In 2019, FAO piloted such an integrated approach by implementing a Cash+ project in Lori and Shirak regions in Armenia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impacts of the pilot on beneficiaries, in particular on their diets, agricultural activities, income generation and poverty reduction and its potential for poverty reduction through a scale up of similar support.

Improving food security and nutrition through cash+ in Armenia
Combining cash transfers, productive assets and inputs distribution with agricultural and nutrition trainings for vulnerable rural households in Lori and Shirak regions
2024

Armenia is a landlocked, upper-middle-income country with a population of three million people and a net importer of food. It is vulnerable to natural hazards, including floods and drought, which negatively impact the country's food security and nutrition, together with external shocks like global food price fluctuations. This promising practice documents an integrated nutrition-sensitive cash+ approach piloted by FAO in the Gyulagarak community in the Lori region, and in the Marmashen community in the Shirak region. The intervention was part of the project “Developing Capacity for Strengthening Food Security and Nutrition in Selected Countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia,” which started in 2016 and ended in 2021. The objective of this intervention was to support the economic inclusion of poor rural households and improve their food security and nutrition. To do so, the intervention leveraged the national social protection system by targeting beneficiaries of the government-run family benefits scheme. FAO complemented the cash transfers provided by the government programme with packages of agricultural inputs and training on agriculture, nutrition and financial literacy. This promising practice offers an example of the effectiveness of cash+ interventions in strengthening resilience, nutrition and food security. The main innovative element of this pilot was in fact the combination of social assistance and productive assistance for small-scale agriculture. The results offer a solid evidence base to advocate in Armenia and elsewhere for combining national social protection programmes with productive inputs for small-scale food producers.
