Introducing a Family Support Grant is argued to be a more efficient way to address absolute poverty by offering a family benefit to all the families in absolute poverty. Reforms in the Ipelegeng public works program would allow addressing existing shortcomings associated with coverage, targeting, generosity, and wrong labor incentives. The combination of the above will allow for a better weaving of the Social Safety Nets to ensure that the goal of lifting 16% of population from absolute poverty by 2016 is achieved.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL SECTORANTI-POVERTYANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMASSISTANCE PROGRAMSBASIC EDUCATIONBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFIT LEVELCASH ASSISTANCECASH PAYMENTSCASH TRANSFERSCHILD LABORCHILD POVERTYCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC POVERTYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCONDITIONAL CASHCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONSCOPING STRATEGIESCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCOVARIATE SHOCKSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISASTER RELIEFDROUGHTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SHOCKSELDERLYELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXTENDED FAMILIESEXTENDED FAMILYEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY BENEFITFAMILY SUPPORTFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFOOD ASSISTANCEFOOD ITEMSFOOD NECESSITIESFOOD POVERTYFOOD RELIEFFOOD SECURITYFOOD TRANSFERSFUTURE EARNINGSGOVERNMENT RESPONSEGRANT PROGRAMGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CENTRESHEALTH SYSTEMHEIGHT FOR AGEHEIGHT-FOR-AGEHIGH INEQUALITYHIVHOME AFFAIRSHORIZONTAL EQUITYHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTSHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN RESOURCESIDIOSYNCRATIC RISKSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME SECURITYINEQUALITYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSURANCE MECHANISMSINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINEJOBLESSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLACK OF EDUCATIONLACK OF SKILLSLIVE BIRTHSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMEANS TESTMINIMUM WAGEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMUTUAL AIDNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNEEDY CHILDRENNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUTRITION INTERVENTIONSNUTRITION PROGRAMNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL STATUSNUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATIONOLD AGEOLD AGE PENSIONOLD AGE PENSIONSORPHANSPENSIONPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPLAN OF ACTIONPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOORPOOR ADULTSPOOR CHILDRENPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ERADICATIONPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE PENSIONPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPROGRAM COVERAGEPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION SYSTEMPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSPURCHASING POWERREMOTE AREASRIGHT TO EDUCATIONRISK MANAGEMENTRISK-POOLINGRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL MATERIALSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSELF-INSURANCESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSHOCKSINGLE-PARENT FAMILIESSKILL DEVELOPMENTSKILLED WORKERSSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSSNSUPPORT GRANTSUPPORT NETWORKSSUPPORT PROGRAMTARGETINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSFER PROGRAMSTUBERCULOSISUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWAGE RATEWARWELFARE INDICATORSWORK REQUIREMENTSWORKFORCEWORKS PROGRAMYOUTH DEVELOPMENT10.1596/18968
