At the start of the new millennium, malnutrition in Senegal was a major concern. Nearly one in every three children under five years were stunted, one in ten were wasted, and two in ten were underweight. Rates varied by geography and by income, with the poor and rural, and residents of the north, south and central zones, suffering more than others. The Nutrition enhancement program in Senegal introduced cash transfers as part of a response to the food price crisis, building on a well-established community-centered nutrition program that leverages broad participation to deliver training, micronutrients and asset transfers. It targets children under five as well as pregnant and lactating women, providing benefits to seventy percent of the country’s population. The social transfer aspect provides an unconditional cash transfer to participating mothers. The cash is expected to support the purchase of nutritious foods and other services that promote the development of children.
