This paper presents findings from an impact evaluation of a combination of two types of agricultural and social protection programmes: the Lesotho Child Grant Programme (CGP) and the FAO-Lesotho Linking Food Security to Social Protection Programme (LFSSP). Overall we find positive effects of the programmes on homestead gardening and productive agricultural activities. Many of these observed outcomes appear driven by the combination of the two programmes. An additional year of CGP along with one year of the LFSSP achieved a number of outcomes which two years of receiving the CGP alone did not, and impact varies in relation to household labour constraints. The LFSSP appears to have assisted households facing labour constraints in homestead gardening activities. For labour non-constrained families, an additional year of CGP plus the LFSSP allowed for greater investments in more substantial productive items, perhaps with intentions of scaling up agricultural operations.
