Transforming Cash Transfers: Beneficiary and community perspectives of the Social Welfare Fund in Yemen

This report presents the results of a study on beneficiary and community perceptions of the Social Welfare Fund (SWF) cash transfer in Yemen. The study was part of a global research project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), which included similar studies in another four countries with long-running cash transfer (CT) programmes (Kenya, Mozambique, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Uganda).
In Yemen, the study was conducted in two districts of different governorates: Al-Qahira district in Taiz and Zabid district in Hodeidah, both with primarily urban and peri-urban populations. The study team met with relevant stakeholders at national level (SWF officials and donors) and in the selected districts with a diverse range of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, local authorities, youth leaders and civil society actors.
