Abstract
Questioning the Effectiveness of Cash Transfer Programme for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Supporting Orphaned Children with Disabilities.
Highlights
Social Cash Transfers (SCTs) are a relatively new social protection instrument in East and Southern Africa
The study findings revealed that the Cash Transfer Programme for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CTP-orphans and vulnerable children (OVC)) does not adequately support orphaned children with disabilities as such children are still entangled in a twist of unending cycle of vulnerability
The study concludes that inclusive social protection still remains a challenge especially for children in multiple OVC categories
Summary
Social Cash Transfers (SCTs) are a relatively new social protection instrument in East and Southern Africa. A multi-sectoral approach is needed to address the plight of orphaned children living with disability as well as their caregivers in order to achieve inclusive sustainable development. This social construction of disability by adults and children themselves is further influenced by the changing socio-economic environment which includes the current international debate on the rights of the child.
