Enhancing diets and resilience

This report presents the results of a mixed-method rapid assessment that provides both indicative quantitative information and in-depth qualitative analysis on the household-level impacts of the Cash+ pilot. The Cash+ approach has been developed to reap the benefits of integrating cash transfers with productive support interventions and skills training. The approach brings together key sectors, such as social protection, agriculture and nutrition, in an effort to address the key determinants of poverty and some underlying causes of malnutrition. In 2019, FAO piloted such an integrated approach by implementing a Cash+ project in Lori and Shirak regions in Armenia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impacts of the pilot on beneficiaries, in particular on their diets, agricultural activities, income generation and poverty reduction and its potential for poverty reduction through a scale up of similar support.
