Description This study2 assessed the impact of the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on the asset ownership of the beneficiary households. Data were gathered through household survey, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informants interview. Despite the encouraging change on the consumption pattern of households, PSNP has been less successful in rebuilding a strong asset base that could enable the graduation of many poor households out of food insecurity. The study has found that low rate and delay of payments, overlap of PSNP-public works program with local farming season, absence of the integration of PSNP with other food security program interventions, transfer of resources that does not meet beneficiary preferences, poverty and droughts were impediments that constrained the potential of the program.
