Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Key messages • The Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN) programme in Tanzania addresses the needs of the poorest population. • The programme continues to be largely externally funded, • Resource constraints, poor alignment with national priorities, and skepticism towards cash transfers are key constraints to the government in taking over financing of the PSSN, • For externally driven programmes to become sustainable it is essential that they align with national development plans and government priorities.
