<p>This paper aims to assess the impact of the National Family Security Grant Program (PNBSF) on the well-being of rural households in Senegal.

摘要

This paper aims to assess the impact of the National Family Security Grant Program (PNBSF) on the well-being of rural households in Senegal. The methodological approach was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, a difference-in-differences (DID) model based on surveys that were carried out in 2012 and between 2019 and 2021 was used. In the second stage, another cash transfer program called the Social Protection Initiative for Vulnerable Children (IPSEV in French) was incorporated into the model. The sample comprises 5958 households spread across the eight districts of the Linguère and Matam regions. The results show that households benefiting from the PNBSF are less likely to engage in cereal crop cultivation and more likely to increase the size of their small ruminant herds as a strategy to improve household welfare. However, the impact is more significant with the addition of the IPSEV program on household welfare. In terms of economic policy implications, the government must set up a structure that will coordinate all social programs and develop alliances with other projects or programs aimed at strengthening the economic well-being of households.
