The main type of programmes covered by the Policy include: cash transfers targeted to the elderly, school children, indigent poor and disabled poor (and one off payments for specific emergencies); food-based programmes (school feeding programmes and food security provisions); price subsidies for food, electricity, and public transport; active labour market programmes including public works schemes; waivers and exemptions for health care costs, schooling costs and utilities; community development programmes; social care services; and housing, water and sanitation services.
