Do urban safety net programs affect the financial inclusion and food security of households, primarily women participating in urban agriculture? A triangulative exploration of Ethi... by Kassa Moges Tareke

“…The logistic regression model also confirmed that among the financial inclusion options, amount saved, advice on finance management, and proportion of credit used were the most significant predictors. The safety net program’s CTs have moderately improved financial inclusion for women and slightly increased food-secured women, but their overall contribution to food security remains inadequate, as a significant portion of women’s households still experience food insecurity and poor urban agriculture. …”
