Beneficiaries from Maliwalo did not

receive their cash grants from about 2 to 3 months. A factor which caused this is the absconding
of their land link.

the cash is being transferred once every two to three months, rather than the monthly guarantee
signed under the Oath of Commitment.

which could possible cause the alteration of the amount are non-compliance with program
conditions; and update on the number of children
included in the program.

was found out that parent leaders tolerated this scheme, despite their knowledge they do not
report such ongoing instances.
