Children at school - Ng'andu Village (Zambia)
The Social Cash Transfer Programme has helped beneficiary households to pay for school feed and they can now afford to buy new uniforms for their children.
The main objective of the Social Cash Transfer (SCT) Programme is to reduce extreme poverty and the intergenerational transfer of poverty. The SCT Programme has been operating in Zambia since 2003 and is implemented by the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH). Several positive impacts among beneficiary households include reduced poverty, increased food security, improved child wellbeing, improved living conditions and greater productivity and asset ownership.
