Key Achievements

  • To respond to the extreme drought in the Southern Africa region, cash transfers have become the primary response to support the recovery of disaster-affected population in Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique.
  • Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program reaches about eight million people poor and chronically food insecure households in the country. Analysis shows that the direct effect of payments reduces poverty by 7%.
  • In Madagascar, with support from the World Bank's Fund for the Poorest (IDA), cash transfers were provided to more than 80,000 poor households, while promoting nutrition, early childhood development, children school attendance and productive activities of families.
