Synopsis (short abstract) The Integrated Nutrition Social Cash Transfer (IN-SCT) pilot project was embedded within Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme phase 4 (PSNP4). The PSNP4 programme supports food insecure households through two components: a cash transfer component that requires the recipient to participate in public work activities or to comply with soft conditionalities on access to social and health services; and a livelihood support component. This evaluation report presents the impacts of PSNP/IN-SCT on productive outcomes ranging from crop and livestock production to labour supply, non-farm businesses, use of inputs and the like. The report is part of a wider evaluation study that brings together IFPRI, the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at University of Sussex and Cornell University. While these organizations set up the study design and focused their analyses of impacts on outcomes related to food security, hygiene, access to health services and nutritional status, FAO has contributed by analysing the productive impacts of the programme. This paper is being published in the context of a partnership between FAO, IFAD and the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) and its Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Económico (CEDE) based in Bogotá, Colombia.

    Strengthening coherence between social protection and productive interventions – The case of Lesotho 2021
    Also available in:

    Social protection has been recognized as a key strategy to address poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion in Lesotho. As a result, the Government, with support from UNICEF and the European Union, developed the Child Grants Programme (CGP), which provides unconditional cash transfers to poor and vulnerable households registered in the National Information System for Social Assistance (NISSA). The quantitative impact evaluation presented in this report seeks to document the welfare and economic impacts of CGP and SPRINGS on direct beneficiaries and assess whether combining the cash transfers with a package of rural development interventions can create positive synergies at both individual and household level, especially in relation to income generating activities and nutrition. This paper is being published in the context of a partnership between FAO, IFAD and the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) and its Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Económico (CEDE) based in Bogotá, Colombia.

    Strengthening Coherence Between Social Protection and Agriculture to Combat Food Insecurity and Rural Poverty - MTF/GLO/937/ULA 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Poverty, hunger and food insecurity are most heavily concentrated among rural dwellers. To address these problems, in recent years, countries have set up a number of social assistance programmes to help extreme poor households manage risk more effectively and protect their consumption and assets without having to resort to negative coping strategies in the face of a crisis. Cash transfers and other programmes have been implemented at scale; and it has been demonstrated that these programmes make a positive difference in the lives of the rural poor. At the same time, it has become increasingly evident that despite their positive contributions to shielding the poor from shocks and helping them avert destitution, social protection programmes by themselves are insufficient to fully unleash productive potential and help small farm and other poor rural households embark on self-sustaining livelihood pathways out of poverty. In the light of these issues, the project aimed to explore and document the benefits of articulating social protection and rural development interventions, in order to provide evidence to policy-makers and donors on better programme design, sequencing, and institutional design for supporting rural poor alleviation.
