| dc.description.abstract | In urban areas, poverty, food insecurity and vulnerability have been growing overtime and have never been addressed systematically until the design of urban productive safety net program. Since 2017, the program is being implemented in the largest 11 cities of the country (Addis Ababa, Harar, Gambela, Semera, Asosa, Mekelle, Dessie, Hawassa, Jigjiga, Dire Dawa and Adama). The first stage targets about 604,000 beneficiaries who are the poorest in these 11 cities. Given that urban poverty is concentrated in the capital city Addis Ababa, about three-quarters of the beneficiaries (around 400,000 people) would be from this city. The research study attempted to assess the effectiveness of the UPSNP in Addis Ababa city administration. Three sub cities with the highest poverty rate were purposive selected to identify the potential study participants from the study’s target population. A total of 145 households were selected for the study. The data was collected using structured and semi structured questionnaires and interviews as well as secondary data. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the collected data. The finding shows that the program had a good start in establishing institutional and procedural arrangements. Also, in some extent the program had been implemented properly and improved the livelihood of the beneficiaries. To further improve the performance of the program, it is important to solve challenges in relation to targeting process, public work planning and procurement process. | en_US |
