Cash transfer Living standard Poverty reduction strategy Cash transfer program A dissertation submitted to School of Public Administration and Management in partial fulfilment of requirement for the award of Masters of Science in Human Resource Management (MSc-HRM) of Mzumbe University. The Government of Tanzania introduced PSSN that provides Cash Transfer (CT) to poor and vulnerable groups so as to improve their living standards while generating sustainable improvement on human capital, health, and food consumption. Evidence from literature has demonstrated that people have different views on CT, therefore the researcher intended to explore stakeholders‟ perception on CT in Rorya district. The specific objectives were: - To explore the perceptions of CT beneficiaries, implementers and non-beneficiaries on the CT programme, to examine the contribution of CT on improving living standard of the community and to examine the effectiveness of procedures used in selecting household beneficiaries of CT. The study applied a case study design and simple random, convenient as well as purposive sampling in drawing a sample of 130 respondents. Moreover, interview, FGD and observation method were used to obtain information from the respondents. The study revealed that perception varies according to the categories of respondents; positive perception were highly found in beneficiaries and implementers side while negative perception was most found on non-beneficiaries side. The study further revealed that CT has brought direct impact on food consumption, HIV treatment, and gender empowerment and taking children under age to clinics. Indirect impact was seen in human capital development. Furthermore, the study revealed that the process of selecting household beneficiaries was hampered by poor community participation in Village assembly and other problems such as biasness and incompetence of CMC. Finally it is concluded that, although the programme failed to address all the problems that poor people are facing but the unconditional cash transfer has brought significant impact on food consumption while the conditionality promoted human capital development. Then after it is recommended that the Government should conduct inflation analysis to make sure the supply of CT meets food price and there should be food and drug transfer to elder beneficiaries. The selection process should involve the broader community so as to reduce selection errors.
