In these schemes of things, cash handouts seem to be of essence in the election season.

Social protection schemes are meant to mitigate the immediate impact of shocks (for example, price fluctuations) and smoothen consumption, over time. The thinking has also evolved to emphasise graduation and self-reliance where households are enabled to meet their needs consistently. |
