CHRONIC: Safety net for the chronically poor: By EoP, cash
transfers for up to 100,000HH (720,000 people) of approx. Ksh
2,700 or £19 a month paid (5,400 per cycle) into beneficiaries bank
accounts.
Women: approx. 52% women beneficiaries with 66% of
beneficiary HHs women headed.
ACUTE: Scalable safety net in response to crisis: 375,000
HH (reaching approx. 2.7m people) will be carded and provided
with bank accounts and can be reached with emergency
payments.
Impact: Reduce poverty, hunger and vulnerability for
the poor in Kenya’s Arid, Semi-Arid lands.
Outcome: Create better and more sustainable safety
nets for poor and vulnerable households, particularly
for households in the ASALs.
