Cash Transfers in post-conflict Nepal
Cash Transfers in post-conflict Nepal
As Nepal moves towards a post-conflict and democratic society, one based on inclusion and economic growth, social protection is taking on an increasingly important role. Whilst social protection as a concept is relatively new in the country, social protection programmes are not – over the years Nepal has implemented a number of cash, food and in-kind transfers, as well as insurance, subsidies and public works programmes.
Cash transfers have been a popular form of social protection programming by the government.
