A safety net programme cannot operate in isolation and it is important to look at the complex graduation processes involved. For example, another study into the PSNP (IFPRI 2008) found that households with access to both the PSNP and packages of agricultural support were more likely to be food-secure, to borrow for productive purposes, use improved agricultural technologies, and invest in their own non-farm business activities.
