Hunger Safety Net Programme

As access to mobile phones, and a useful data signal is often impossible in the remotest regions of Kenya, the team decided to use bank accounts and bank cards to facilitate the transfer. Underpinning this innovative solution is the “Single Registry” of all potential and actual beneficiaries.

This is breaking new ground in Africa and the information is said to be more reliable and more complete than census data. Numerous requests for the information have been received from other donors and NGOs, with a strict data protection and access policy in place. A dashboard presents real-time information on the programme, including precise geotags (available to admins only) of beneficiaries, agents and paypoints.
