The Lesotho Child Grants Programme (CGP), which started in 2009, is an unconditional social cash transfer targeted to poor and vulnerable households. It provides a regular transfer of between M360 and M750 every quarter to poor households with children who are selected through a combination of Proxy Means Testing (PMT) and community validation, and who are registered in the National Information System for Social Assistance (NISSA). The programme is run by the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) of the Government of Lesotho (GoL), with financial support from the European Commission and technical support from UNICEF Lesotho.
The overall goal of this evaluation is to assess the implementation and delivery of the cash transfer interventions in target communities and households, and document programme results and status between 2014 (when the last impact evaluation was completed) and 2021 (as the latest phase of the CGP).
