Abstract

Tier 2 was a pilot group of households that received support from the CLP despite having incomes above the extreme poverty line. These households received a lower-value package of support than Tier 1. This report outlines a study conducted:

  1. To explore if there were differences in incomes between Tier 1 (households that meet the standard CLP criteria), and Tier 2 based on a 12 month income recall, where consumption value is included as income.
  2. To determine if Tier 2 was justified and should be scaled up.
  3. To explore the asset-income relationship by assessing whether sharecropping of land is a profitable practice (as Tier 2 selection criteria allows sharecropping).
  4. To understand why households become involved in sharecropping, and what the barriers to entry are.
