Abstract

The main objective of the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development (MGLSD) scheme, is to pilot the use of a regular cash transfer as a social protection instrument which has the dual purpose of promoting escape from chronic poverty and preventing those in poverty from sinking into deeper poverty. This briefing describes the scheme and its possible impacts.
