| dc.description.abstract | Understanding the root causes and level of food security would help policy makers to design and implement more effective policies and programs for the poor and thereby helps to pave way to improve food security. The central purpose of the study was to examine urban productive safety net program in Ethiopia and its effects on the food security status of beneficiary’s households in Gulele sub-city, Addis Ababa. Household surveys were conducted with 271 samples in the study area. Analytical tools used include descriptive statistics, logistic regression model, Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and ordinary logit model. Problem tree analysis was used to analyze the causes of food insecurity of study areas. The result logit model indicates, age of household head, cash transferred from program, total income expenditure, consumption of durable goods to be more significantly associated with household participation. The results show that the approximately 2.2% of households were categorized as food secure, 26.3% as mildly food insecure and 49% as moderately food insecure and 22.5% as severely food insecure in the study area. The ordered logit model result also indicates age, family size, saving access and consumption of durable goods of participant household heads have both positive and negative effect on food security. The study concludes that even though urban productive safety net program have a positive effects on beneficiaries, but not have statically significant changes in their livelihood. The study recommends that local government at (federal, city, sub-city, and woreda level) give attention on to create job opportunities, family planning and the adjustment of the amount of cash transfer for the participants based on the current living condition to ensure their food security. | en_US |
