Cash transfers are often intended to 'fill the food gap' in food insecure families, so their value is set at the cost of a basic food basket, adjusted for household size. Another option is to calibrate the transfer value against the cost of a basket of essential goods and services, including food but also utilities that might cost more in urban areas. The basic benefit level for LEAP should be adjusted to incorporate the different consumption needs of urban households, accounting for lower self-production, higher reliance on cash and higher costs associated with urban life. To account for the elevated vulnerability of urban households to price fluctuations, the transfer level should be reviewed regularly and adjusted in response to inflation.
