Abstract:
The Government of Malawi, alongside development partners, initiated the Malawi Social Cash Transfer (SCT) Programme in 2006, as a pilot scheme in Mchinji district, to provide small grants to ultra-poor and labour-constrained households. Currently, the SCT programme covers seven districts and reaches over 26,000 households and approximately 103,000 individuals.
