This paper aspire in evaluating the impact of Ethiopia’s productive safety net program on households’ livelihood in Babile district by using primary data that were collected during January and February in 2017 from PSNP treatment and controls group sampled households. Descriptive statistics and Propensity Score Matching were used to evaluate the impact of the program in the study area. The paper revealed that among eleven model variables five of them influence the program participation decisions. Thus, the program had positive and highly significant effect on consumption in which 1269.11 Kcal was found due to the program intervention.
