The primary data were collected through structured questionnaire from 162 participant and 201 non participant sample households of four kebeles. using cross-sectional data, the study examines the impact of productive safety net program on three outcomes such as tropical livestock unit, productive asset and non-productive asset. Since there is no baseline survey in the study area the study used propensity score matching to match participant with non-participant households. Based on the econometrics estimation results participation in the productive safety net programs was significantly influenced by household characteristics, such as sex of household head, age of household head, family size, education level, number of adult labor force and household distance from market. The researcher found that productive safety net program has significant negative impact on both tropical livestock unit and non-livestock asset. The negative value indicates that households receiving program benefits have lower value of assets than control groups. The study also found that the beneficiary households were used the transfer mainly for consumption purpose. Thus, program designers at higher levels, implementers at lower levels and funding agents should re-evaluate the program to bring the positive impact on the participants asset and to achieve the program objectives.	en_US
