comments:

Program designers need to be aware of the challenges of such interventions, and decide whether they are the best intervention, and/or that resources for supporting activities are available. Field managers will also need to be aware. Beneficiaries will then be the vulnerable HHs able to participate in worthwhile activities.

challenges:

Despite various efforts to prepare and support vulnerable HHs, high input activities such as micro-finance may still be too risky for vulnerable HH and they still not accept them.

success:

-

context:

It is common for many program implementers, in order that an intervention will be successful, to select the better able (and thus less vulnerable) HHs to participate. This was the case for 2 high input activities, PMG and micro-finance If such activities are to be successful in engaging with the vulnerable, then specific supporting mechanisms must be applied as well. In this case the iterative work with FFS did go some way towards this.

description:

There is a danger for some activities (PMG, micro-finance) to select those participants who provide security for success, thus missing the most vulnerable HHs.
