Each beneficiary household receives a monthly stipend of KSh 2,700 through the HSNP, which is implemented by NDMA in the eight arid counties. The cash transfer initiative is part of the Kenya Social and Economic Inclusion Project (KSEIP) under the Government’s broader Inua Jamii social protection programme.
