While targeting for Social Cash Transfer (SCT) programme requires that beneficiaries are ultra-poor and have limited access to resources, efforts to breaking the cycle of poverty and hunger must build on the idiosyncratic and covariate capacities available as a starting point.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with the MNSSP 2, Christian Aid and partners in EU\u2019s Pro-ACT undertook to profile and categorize SCT beneficiaries based on their potential or capacity to step out, step up, or remain in need of continuous safety-nets in five districts. After the census, two primary groups (PG\u2019s) were identified: PG-1 with those that are productive resource constrained (no land and\/or labour potential) and PG-2 (with land and\/or productive labour). Out of 26,095 SCT-beneficiaries covered, 36 percent and 64 percent were identified as PG-1 and PG-2, respectively. Following the study, resultant interventions in PG-1 included VS&amp;L, small stock livestock, crisis modifiers, and nutrition behaviour change education. For PG-2 they included VS&amp;L, lean season (labour-protecting) cash top ups, farm inputs, climate smart agriculture technologies and extension, livestock, irrigation, and nutrition behaviour change education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please<\/strong> <strong>RSVP<\/strong> to the IFPRI Malawi office (<a href=\"mailto:ifpri-lilongwe@cgiar.org?subject=RSVP%20to%20Brown%20Bag%20Research%20Seminar\">ifpri-lilongwe@cgiar.org<\/a>) if you plan to attend, or designate someone to attend in your place, as space is limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019 - 14.00 pm - 15.30 pm<br \/>\nBuilding resilience to food and nutrition insecurity amidst climate change among the ultra-poor under social protection requires providing the right dose of treatment interventions for impact.
