The study recommends that the Ministry under the President’s Office Public Services Management and Good Governance through the conditional cash transfer programme to increase the amount of cash given to poor households and the Government, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and other stakeholders should work together with the conditional cash transfer programmes to continue to improve food security.
