Resumen
Descripción
This paper reports that in the 2004-2005
growing season, Malawi experienced a drought which affected
farm produce and subsequently led to country-wide food
shortages. Due to the food shortage, the Malawi Government
implemented a Public Works Programme -- Conditional Cash
Transfers (PWP-CCT) to transfer cash income to vulnerable
households to enable them buy food and agricultural inputs
for the 2005-2006 growing season. The paper explains the
2004-2005 drought, implementation of the PWP-CCT, and the
issues and lessons learnt.
