Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs
give families cash to pay for basic health and school
expenses (if children attend school and regularly visit
health clinics). CCTs have two main objectives: to increase
income and alleviate poverty in the short term, and to break
the inter-generational cycle of poverty by increasing human
capital. Various situations have led to their creation in
different countries. The World Bank (WB) supports CCTs in
Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle-East and Far East.
In 2002, the Bank's Latin American and Caribbean Region
and the Mexican government sponsored the first regional
workshop on experiences with CCTs.. This article summarizes
the lessons of experience in designing and operating CCTs
shared by officials, donors and academics at the workshop. |
