The Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a social protection program by the Government of Ethiopia targeting food-insecure households.
[1] To this end, the program provides cash or food payments against public works that build local infrastructure (e.g. roads) or protect environment (e.g. terracing).
Poor and vulnerable households with limited labour capacity receive unconditional (direct support) payments.
Moreover, eligible households with pregnant or lactating women or infant children are receive temporary direct support.
[6] Moreover, IFPRI-led impact evaluations show that PSNP has improved household food security and expenditures.
