| description |
Cash is an appropriate instrument to
provide assistance to poor and vulnerable households in most
contexts in Myanmar. Cash transfers (CTs) have the potential
to help poor and vulnerable householdsmeet basic needs and
encourage investments in human capital accumulation.
Building on existing programs such as the stipends program
and testing CTs with relatively simple design and
implementation arrangements can be a viable option in the
short term. |
