"Ethiopian Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), Social Protection Nutrition Sensitive intervention"
The Government of Ethiopia has developed several policies, plans and strategies with a view to progressively fulfil constitutional rights of the nation. Among many, food security program can be mentioned as one major strategy which enable the vulnerable community to strive to fulfil their right to food. The Ethiopian Food Security Program consists of the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), Household Asset Building Program (HABP), the Voluntary Resettlement Program and the Complementary Community Investment Program (CCI).
The Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) is a development-oriented social protection program launched in Ethiopia in 2005. PSNP is aimed at enabling the rural poor facing chronic food insecurity to resist shocks, create assets and become food self-sufficient. PSNP provides multi-annual predictable transfers, as food, cash or a combination of both, to help chronically food insecure people survive food deficit periods and avoid depleting their productive assets while attempting to meet their basic food requirements. The combination of cash and food transfers is based on season and need, with food given primarily in the lean season between June and August. Vulnerable households receive six months of assistance annually to protect them from acute food insecurity.
