This article draws lessons from ACDI/VOCA, CARE, and World Vision-implemented food security programmes to answer three questions: how can push/pull activities better integrate the extremely poor into 1) output and 2) input markets? And 3) how can push/ pull programme activities help improve intra-household gender dynamics and financial decision-making to improve the food and nutrition security of household members?
