  1. Summary of recommendations Sarah Levy Calibre Consultants

  2. Type of transfer • In-kind (maize flour only) + cash to provide other foods and basic needs • Avoid vouchers: • Less positive impact on well-being than cash • Costly and complicated to administer • Not enough retailer capacity in rural areas • Introduces market & price distortions

  3. Type of committee • Beneficiary/carer committees • To improve efficiency: • Greater emphasis on carers • Include people who are literate • Provide some external support

  4. Supervision & control system Closely monitored villages did better than “hands-off” during the pilot • When scaling up, we should: • Include random, unannounced spot checks on receipt of benefit • Give prominence and visibility to the supervision & control system • Findings of spot-checks should be made public at the distribution points

  5. Flexibility • Number of beneficiaries should increase in times of crisis: • % of beneficiary households selected should be allowed to rise if crisis forecast • Amount of benefit should fluctuate to: • reflect cost of food & other basic needs • be enough to last for whole month
