Abstract
The study "Can recipients of the Child Social Grants in Banana City Informal
Settlement generate an adequate standard of living from the Grant?" examines
whether the child support grants is accessible and sufficient to generate the livelihoods of
beneficiaries. The study evaluates the impact of the grant on low income households
particularly beneficiaries in Banana City Informal Settlement. The challenges facing the
recipients in accessing the grant are identified and recommendations advanced. The lack
of proper Identity Documents was identified as the key challenge facing qualifying and
intended beneficiaries of the Child Support Grant. The findings of the study reveal that
there is a need for continuous synergy between various governmental departments in
ensuring that the Millennium Goal of halving poverty by 2015 is achieved. The research
draws from international practices of social welfare measures in countries such as Brazil,
India and China.
