Swaziland spends a significant amount on safety nets but there is room to increase the efficiency of spending by: (i) improving coordination between programs; (ii) making adjustments to program design and implementation; and (iii) removing some inefficient programs. Social transfers could play a larger role in reducing poverty but there are gaps in how well the safety net supports extremely poor households with children and/or unemployed household members. The assessment recommends that Swaziland should consider adopting a national child grant program and a public works program to fill these gaps.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO SERVICESADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENTAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SHOCKSALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFICIARY HOUSEHOLDSCASH ASSISTANCECASH BENEFITSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCHRONIC POVERTYCONDITIONAL CASHCOPING STRATEGYCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCREDIT MARKETSDECLINE IN POVERTYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIRECT TRANSFERSDROUGHTEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION GRANTEDUCATION GRANTSELDERLY PEOPLEELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEXTENDED FAMILIESEXTREME POOR HOUSEHOLDSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME POVERTY LINEEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSEXTREMELY POOR PEOPLEFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY SUPPORTFARM PRODUCTIVITYFEE WAIVERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL CRISISFOOD AIDFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD IMPORTSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLYFORMAL EMPLOYMENTFORMAL SAFETY NETSGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGRANT PROGRAMGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEIGHT FOR AGEHIVHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDRENHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN RIGHTSIDIOSYNCRATIC RISKIMPACT ON POVERTYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME DYNAMICSINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME POVERTYINEQUALITYINPUT SUBSIDIESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL AIDLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLACK OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVING STANDARDSMALNUTRITIONMEANS TESTMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUTRITIONAL STATUSOLD AGEORPHANSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOORPOOR CHILDRENPOOR DISTRICTSPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR PEOPLEPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDSPOOR WOMENPOORER PEOPLEPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY MAPPINGPOVERTY MAPSPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY STATUSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC ASSISTANCEPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SAFETY NETPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSFERSPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DIMENSIONRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POORSAFE WATERSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL YEARSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELECTION CRITERIASHOCKSHORT-TERM EMPLOYMENTSINGLE-PARENT FAMILIESSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL CARESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL TRANSFERSOCIAL TRANSFERSSOCIAL WELFARESSNSUBSISTENCESUPPLEMENTARY FEEDINGSUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTIONTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSTUBERCULOSISUNEMPLOYMENTVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTVULNERABILITY OF WOMENVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE CITIZENSVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSVULNERABLE PEOPLEVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWATER SOURCESWEALTH GROUPSWEATHER SHOCKSWIDESPREAD POVERTYWORKFAREWORKS PROGRAMWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION10.1596/19006
