Safety nets for agriculture and nutrition.

Abstract

AbstractDesigning effective programmes with safety net, agriculture, and nutrition components raises challenges for coordinating service delivery across these sectors in order to determine how transfers and agriculture will work together to improve nutrition. This chapter explores the potential for such a partnership. It presents selected evidence on the impact of safety nets on agriculture and nutrition separately, examines trends in the development of more integrated programmes, and outlines key areas of potential and challenges to better harnessing safety nets for agriculture and nutrition.
