N2 - Social-protection programmes like the Productive Safety-Net Programme(PSNP) in Ethiopia can play a positive role in promoting livelihoods andenhancing risk management. This article uses propensity score matching toestimate its effect on income diversification. The results suggest that receivingtransfers from the PSNP, on average, did not increase farm or non-farmincome but significantly increases natural-resource extraction (onecomponent of off-farm income). While these results should be treated withcaution, they suggest that the PSNP may not be helping smallholders diversifyincome sources in a positive manner for climate adaptation. The articleconcludes by arguing for the promotion of positive forms of incomediversification and the further investigation of the PSNP’s influence onautonomous adaptation strategies.
