      abstract = {This study examined how households’ responded in the  Tillabery region, Niger given early cash transfer  intervention and the impact on household food access and  ability to cope and recover from a food crisis. Data was  also collected from households that did not benefit from  the cash transfer program for comparative purposes. Food  access indicators are linked to the cash transfer program  and structural characteristics of households and the  relationships estimated using a propensity weighted  econometric model. Results indicate that early cash  transfer intervention had a positive impact on staving off  short term food deficiency and reducing vulnerability but  limited in contributing to longer lasting impact. The  results also demonstrate that certain social-structural  characteristics of a household, namely, more economically  active adults, male head of a household and concerted  decision making, are important for improved food access  status. Focusing safety net programs based on these  household characteristics could benefit efforts to better  target those most vulnerable.},
