Interview with Fabio Veras (UNDP, International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth - IPC) during the From Protection to Production project workshop, 24-25 September 2013, FAO HQ. The question "How do we ensure that such cash transfers will not erode the willingness of the community to work/focus on income generation or take actions to improve their family situation?" has been posted on FAO Facebook page.

The From Protection to Production (PtoP) project is a multi-country impact evaluation of cash transfers in sub-Saharan Africa. The project is a collaborative effort between the FAO, the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office and the governments of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Project activities are mainly funded by the Regular Fund, the DFID Research and Evidence Division and the EU.
