Learning from Diversity: Social Protection Programs in South Africa and Malawi

More about the book

The book delves into the often-overlooked relational and symbolic aspects of the Social Cash Transfer Program (SCTP) in Malawi, arguing for a broader impact assessment that includes these dimensions. It examines how poverty is conceptualized and implemented through the perspectives of administrators, implementers, and beneficiaries. The research emphasizes the importance of these relationships in shaping effective and sustainable poverty reduction initiatives, highlighting the connection between successful targeting and overall poverty alleviation within the social cash transfer framework.
