The Social Cash Transfer Programme (SCTP)

Highlights

The Social Cash Transfer Programme (SCTP)—locally known in Chichewa as Mtukula Pakhomo—is a non-conditional critical safety net for the most vulnerable, ultra-poor Malawians. By providing monthly cash transfers to over 1.3 million people annually, this programme helps ultra-poor families to meet their basic needs and build resilience, with the ultimate goal of building human capital and moving them out of poverty.
