Abstract | This study assessed the effectiveness of Cash Transfer program on People with Severe Disabilities (PWSDs) in Rongai Sub County, Kenya. Three objectives viz. identification criteria of PWSDs, effectiveness of the cash transfers program, monitoring and evaluation process were studied. A descriptive research design with a target population of 116 was adopted. 90 respondents were selected through simple random sampling. Data was coded for descriptive and inferential analyses using SPSS 20. Majority respondents were male (61.2%). 71.7% attained primary education. 78.8% required permanent assistance to meet toiletry needs, feeding and protection from harm. PWSDs identification process was conducted yearly (64.7%) and was satisfactory (68.2%). Cash transferred was insufficient to the beneficiaries. An institutional framework was used to implement the PWSDs program (mean 3.20). The study established strong correlations between PWSDs identification, cash transfer process, evaluation process (r=.804, .831 and .717) and the effectiveness of the cash transfer program. The study recommended stakeholder analysis, training and involvement in the planning, implementation and evaluation processes. Evaluation of the cash transfer program should be conducted at regular and feasible intervals. |
