Abstract:
The Old Age Cash Transfer Programme (OCTP) was introduced by the Kenyan government in 2007 as a social protection initiative to improve the well-being of individuals aged 70 years and above. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of OCTP in enhancing access to education, healthcare outcomes, and food security among the elderly population in Isiolo County, Kenya. The research adopted a cross-sectional and descriptive survey approach, with quantitative data analyzed using SPSS version 22. Out of the 356 questionnaires distributed, 296 were returned, resulting in an 83.15% response rate. The demographic analysis revealed a majority of female respondents, accounting for 62.5% of the total sample.
