Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Social Development
How are the beneficiaries of her department’s Food and Nutrition Programme identified?
Reply:
The beneficiaries of the Food and Nutrition Security Programme are identified through the profilling of househlods by Community Development Practitioners (CDPs). This is an exercise that is undertaken to identify needy households and programme beneficiaries for planning to devise strategies to alleviate poverty and improve service delivery. The most poor and vulnerable household with no source of income and food are identified and referred to relevant programme interventions including appropriate nutrition support.
