dc.description.abstractThe focus of the study is on the implementation of cash transfers and their effects on poverty alleviation amongst orphans and vulnerable children. The Harmonized Social Cash Transfer (HSCT) is used as a mechanism of fulfilling the National Orphan Care Policy (NOCP) and National Action Plan (NAP) policy objectives by reaching out to all OVC in ยท the country with social cash transfers that would help meet the basic needs of OVC and increase access to basic services. The NOCP and NAP as guiding mechanisms of the HSCT have been insufficient and ineffective in address if the orphans and vulnerable children poverty situation. Many of these children have no reliable sources of income and their vulnerability is worsened by the fact that they are in the care of elderly relatives who are either chronically ill or economically inactive
