Abstract
This study aimed to assess the perceived contribution of urban productive safety net program to
graduated households' livelihood security in the case of Gullele sub-city, woreda 7, Addis
Ababa. A mixed-methods research approach was applied to conduct this study. And to address
the objectives of this study, a cross-sectional research design was employed. To collect data for
the present study both probability and non-probability sampling methods were used. A purposive
sampling technique from the non-probability sampling method was used to select key informant
interviewees, whereas a simple random sampling technique from the probability sampling
method was used to select respondents to the survey. Structured questionnaires were distributed
to 301 sample respondents, and 276 of them were filled out completely and used for analysis.
Whereas, for interview purposes semi-structured questions were prepared and sixteen key
informants participated. Self-administered questionnaires and interviews from primary data
sources, reports, an extensive review of related literature from journal articles, and published
and unpublished theses from secondary data sources were used to collect data for this study. The
collected quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS version 2020 and
then qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Based on the finding of the study, UPSNP
perceived by respondent as it has not contributed for most of graduated beneficiaries HHs to
have secured livelihood opportunities. As result most of the UPSNP-graduated beneficiaries

financial capital, lack of loan service and work place, the last cause was supervision and support
from woreda was not continou when they graduated from this program.
