Social Safety Net Transfer Modalities
Despite solid progress in poverty reduction, malnutrition (in particular of children) remains a serious challenge to public health and overall development in Bangladesh. The Social Safety Net Transfer Modalities project assesses which transfer modalities are most effective in reaching the ultra-poor and improving their nutrition status. The action-research project allows for evidence-based advocacy in poverty-nutrition issues and improved of social safety net programmes in Bangladesh and will inform respective policy development.

| Contexte |
Recent years’ progress in overcoming malnutrition has been slower than reduction of poverty in Bangladesh, leaving the incidence of under-nutrition in children at a high 41%. The rapidly growing government social safety net programmes, which cater to the needs of the poor and ultra-poor, should therefore increase their targeting quality and better address nutrition needs of the poor. |
| Objectifs |
The aim of the Social Safety Net Transfer Modalities project is to provide evidence which can be used to streamline the social safety net system in Bangladesh, with the aim to improve the food and nutrition security of the poor and ultra-poor. It is timed to provide an evidence base for the development of the “Social Protection Strategy” that the Government of Bangladesh has started to draft and which should be ready early 2014. |
