The result indicates, from 272 samples HH, 30.51% & 69.49% were males and females headed HH respectively, and 50.37% & 49.63% were non-beneficiaries and beneficiaries in the UPSNP respectively. The result shows 13.97% & 29.04% food secure, 7.35% & 6.62% mild food insecure, 19.85% & 6.99% moderately food insecure and 8.46% & 7.72% severe food-insecure HH among beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of UPSNP, respectively.

Household family size has a positive relationship to household food insecurity status at a 5% significance level. The study concludes that beneficiaries of UPSNP have positive, but not have statically significant changes. Based on the result of this study the following issues recommended, the government should be increasing the amount of cash transfer and the project focused on the severe food-insecure household and illiterate household heads. Besides improving the education of HH heads, create job opportunities and increase their income which is vital in the alleviation of severe food insecurity | en_US |
