The Government will soon launch a nationwide exercise to reinstate Persons with Severe Disability Cash Transfer (PwSD-CT) beneficiaries left out of the Consolidated Cash Transfer Programme Management Information System (CCTP MIS) on August 31, 2021.
According to the State Department for Social Protection, led by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), the exercise will be conducted in all 47 counties across the country to retarget 12,464 beneficiaries previously registered under the PwSD-CT.
The retargeting exercise, which will end on September 24, 2021, involves locating households that were previously benefiting from the PwSD cash transfer and not targeting new beneficiaries.
A total of 290 enumerators have been shortlisted to carry out the retargeting exercise, which will be assisted by Disability Services Officers, Children Officers, and Social Development Officers in the 47 counties.
Beneficiaries who are now deceased, untraceable, or have relocated will be recorded, and update forms will be filled to replace them. The Government advises caregivers to acquire necessary documents, including a Kenyan national ID, birth certificate, and a passport photograph of the person with severe disability.
PS, State Department for Social Protection, Mr. Nelson Marwa, stated that a similar exercise will be carried out targeting other cash transfer beneficiaries, including Orphans and Vulnerable Children and Older Persons 70+, later.
