The report shows that given the large numbers of poor in Tanzania and the country s limited resources, it is essential that safety net interventions be well-targeted and efficiently organized. Significant amounts of money are already being spent on transfer programs in Tanzania, but their impact has been limited. The report recommends that for Tanzania, a single intervention will not be enough to effectively tackle extreme poverty but a combination of different type of cash transfer options is more likely to make a difference in the strategy to reduce extreme poverty and food insecurity.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRARIAN ECONOMYAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYASSISTANCE PROGRAMSAVAILABILITY OF FOODAVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOMEBASIC FOODSTUFFSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCALORIC CONSUMPTIONCAPACITY-BUILDINGCASH CROPSCASH INCOMECASH PAYMENTSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCLINIC ATTENDANCECOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCONDITIONAL CASHCONDITIONAL TRANSFERSCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONCOPING STRATEGIESCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCREDIT PROGRAMSDECLINE IN POVERTYDIRECT TRANSFERSDONOR FUNDINGDROUGHTECONOMIC GROWTHELDERLY PEOPLEEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEMPLOYMENT SCHEMEEXTREME POVERTYEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSEXTREMELY POOR PEOPLEFARM ACTIVITIESFARM INCOMEFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFISCAL CONSTRAINTSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD FOR EDUCATIONFOOD GRAINSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD INTAKEFOOD ITEMSFOOD MARKETSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD REQUIREMENTSFOOD SALESFOOD SECURITYFOOD SECURITY PROBLEMSFOOD SHORTAGESFOOD SUBSIDIESFOOD TRANSFERSFOOD-FOR-WORKHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FUNDHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH SERVICESHIGHER INCIDENCE OF POVERTYHOME RATIONSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN CAPITAL FORMATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIDIOSYNCRATIC SHOCKSIMPACT OF SHOCKSIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPACT ON POVERTY REDUCTIONINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GROWTHINCOME LOSSINCOME ON FOODINCOME POVERTYINEQUALITYINFORMAL SAFETY NETSINFORMAL TRANSFERSINPUT SUBSIDIESIRRIGATIONLAND QUALITYLANDHOLDINGSLANDLESSLEAN SEASONLIVING CONDITIONSMALNUTRITIONMARKET PRICESMEANS TESTINGMEANS TESTSMEDICAL CAREMICRO-CREDITMICRONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTATIONNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENUTRITIONNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL STATUSOLD AGEOLD AGE PENSIONPENSIONPENSIONSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPERMANENT DESTITUTIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOORPOOR AREASPOOR FARMERSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INFRASTRUCTUREPOOR LIVINGPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONPOOR WOMENPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY GROUPSPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION IMPACTPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY STATUSPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INTERVENTIONPUBLIC SAFETY NETPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC TRANSFERPUBLIC TRANSFERSPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSPURCHASING POWERREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONREMOTE AREASROAD MAINTENANCEROUTINE MAINTENANCERURALRURAL AREASRURAL FAMILIESRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL ROADRURAL ROAD MAINTENANCESAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NET TRANSFERSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSHARE OF BENEFITSSHOCKSMALL FARMERSSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ACTION FUNDSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL PENSIONSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAMSSOCIAL TRANSFERSSOCIAL WELFARESUBSISTENCESUBSISTENCE FARMERSTARGETINGTEMPORARY SUPPORTTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSTRANSFERS IN CASHTRANSFERS OF FOODUNINSURED RISKUNINSURED RISKSUNIVERSAL PENSIONVILLAGE LEVELVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOUCHERSVULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWAGE RATEWORK PROGRAMWORKS PROGRAM10.1596/20781
