Kenya is among third world countries that have put in place social safety net programs such as cash transfers, better health services and education to help the poor meet their basic needs, cope with sudden shocks and natural disasters. This is according to a new report by the World Bank which notes that programs targeting the poor by the Kenyan and Senegalese governments have helped poor families keep to their immunization schedule, keep children in school and open job opportunities through investments in livestock and micro-enterprises.
