This has been scientifically validated by various studies to be by far the fastest and most cost-efficient in addressing poverty, and will have a much more impactful effect on the security of nutritional food for families which is a major driver of poverty in Namibia.

Conditional/targeted classic welfare programmes, such as the Harambee Cash Grant, have been proven to be more expensive, wasteful and ineffective at ending poverty.
