Social Cash Transfer Programme in Malawi

Organization(s): FAO
Regions: East Africa
Country: Malawi
Year: 2013
Language: English

A programme run by the Government of Malawi is providing cash transfers to more than 26,000 of the country’s poorest households. FAO’s ‘From Protection to Production’ project (PtoP), run in collaboration with Unicef with funding from DFID and the EU, is evaluating the impact of these cash transfers on economic and social development of the beneficiaries and their communities. This video explores how social protection programmes, when combined with other rural development interventions, can help create paths out of poverty for the poorest of the poor.
