organizations namely; Oxfam Great Britain, Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Oxford
Policy Management (OPM), Financial Sector Deepening Trust (FSD-Kenya) in collaboration
with Equity Bank, National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and Helpage International

two institutions was extracted. This study collected primary data where a semi-structured
questionnaire comprising both open-ended and close-ended questions was used to collect data.
Data from questionnaires was summarized, edited, coded, tabulated and analyzed. Data was
analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21, due to its ability to
predict for identifying groups such as factor analysis, descriptive statistics, cross tabulation,
frequencies, as well as bivariate statistics such as Means, ANOVA and Correlation tests. The
study found out that hunger safety in Wajir County generally is the main challenges facing rural
households. This need immediate and long term interventions and policies should be aligned
with and diverse measures to alleviate the problem. The study recommends that pay points
should be sufficiently accessible to recipients, in particular those that have difficulties in
travelling and the payment mechanism should seek to be linked to savings accounts for recipients
so that they can retain funds in their accounts, if they desire, and have greater freedom to
withdraw funds. | en_US |
