Three large-scale social protection schemes - the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) in Ethiopia; the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in India; and the Juntos conditional cash transfer program in Peru - have led to a reduction in both the incidence and intensity of multidimensional poverty in all three countries between 2006 and 2016.

Program effects were sustained into the longer term.
