| Abstract | In South Africa, the provision of social grants, such as the Child Support Grant (CSG), has the aim of addressing high poverty and inequality in post-apartheid South Africa. The CSG in particular has had positive impacts on the educational, nutritional and health outcomes of children. In countries such as Columbia, Mexico, Niger, Brazil and Peru, there has been a shift to scale up the positive impacts of cash transfer programmes by offering complementary interventions, otherwise known as ‘cash plus care’ programmes. A study by Patel, et al. (2017) indicated the need for an evidenced-based family intervention which would scale-up the positive impacts of the CSG. Emanating from the findings of the abovementioned study, the Sihleng’imizi Family Programme was designed. This paper will present the evaluation of the pilot Sihleng’imizi intervention, to inform the development of an appropriate programme to promote and improve child-well-being outcomes of CSG beneficiaries. |
