The Kenya Government plans to pilot a cash transfer program that will enable the elderly and most vulnerable members of the society to buy food while coping with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Currently, Kenya’s ‘ inua Jamii’ social protection program, provides cash to orphans and vulnerable children, older persons and people with severe disabilities.
Figures indicate that the Government allocated Sh33 billion to scale up the social protection and economic inclusion programme.
In the last six years, those who have benefited from the state’s cash transfer program have increased from 200,000 to 1.3 million, at the end of 2019. Funding has increased from KSh6.5 billion to KSh26 billion during this period.
Kenya’s National Safety Net Programme (NSNP) comprises four cash transfer Programmes: the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Cash Transfer; the Older Persons over 70 Cash Transfer; the Persons With Severe Disabilities Cash Transfer Programme; and the Hunger Safety Net Programme.
NSNP is administered jointly by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the National Drought Management Authority, the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors.
Thousands of families are already being supported in Wajir,Mandera, Marsabit and Turkana, under the Hunger Safety Net Programme.
