Abstract
As countries implement social safety
nets programs, a range of technical hurdles affects their
implementation differently in rural and urban areas. In
urban areas, the focus of this study, living in is expensive
and more vulnerable at economy slowdowns. Poverty can be
more severe than in rural areas and accompanied by high
malnutrition rates. Challenges faced by poor populations in
most urban areas related to the lack of proper
identification,outreach, intake and registration of
potential beneficiaries in part due to the lack of social
cohesion and the existence of multiple channels of
communication, challenging the delivery of any messages
quickly and efficiently. Therefore social workers have a
fundamental part during program implementation and
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) process.
